5 weeks post op and.......

My thighs feel like I have been climbing Mt Everest!! It hurts to walk. I know if you are having leg cramps it may be Potassium levels but my thighs arent cramping they are just sore as ever..... Anyone have any idea what this may be??

You really need to call your surgeon. They should know what you should do about the issue.
Potassium deficiencies are very dangerous.

It also could be that you are lifting yourself with your thighs instead of with your abs because of soreness and swelling from surgery... just a thought. But I agree... you need to get this checked out, it's not in the "normal" range of things that we usually experience post-op.
