3 Weeke Post-Op

I am three weeks out today and feeling good, just one question for ya'll. Have any of you experienced leg cramps and numbness and tingling in your hands and feets? Let me know.

Dear Heather J, I'm two weeks Post-op and have had the leg cramp thing. I'll get up and it feels like the beginning of a "charlie horse". I'm attributing it to lack of protein. I feel fine after I take a protein shake. As to the numbness???? You may want to call your DR or PA. I think numbness in the extremities is a sign of dehydration. Remember... Sip, Sip, Sip....

Cramps could be a sign of low potassium........make sure you are taking everything your doc says to.....and if they continue call the doctor....low K+ is nothing to fool with as all of our muscles including our hearts work on a sodium/potassium pump. Numbness and tingling is a sign of poor circulation or neuropathies.....call it to your doc. Good luck....stay well! God Bless Sally 5/24/05 318/270/48 Whoopie!
