Has anyone experienced new pains prior to surgery?

I have my surgery in 5 weeks. Just in the past month or so my heels have started hurting, not the skin, but the bones in both heels, they ache all day and if I sit for a long time they make me limp because they are so achy. And it seems also lately my knee is "catching" when I walk, occasionally making me feel like it's going to give out and it has a quick but intense jab of pain. It seems like the closer I get to surgery, the more these things are occurring. I don't think it's psychological, because I feel the actual pain! But why now? Is it just a good thing that I am scheduled for surgery because my body parts are giving out? Has anyone else had any kind of similar experience? It's starting to freak me out, like my body's not going to make it to my Aug 11 surgery date!
