I have severe joint pain all over including back ls area and hands. Potassium normal level at discharge and sed rate normal. Why woukd I have such bad joint pain so severe I can hardly walk?

you need to understand that any surgery happens slows down ur physiological movements. slowly start doing small free exercises and JROM exercises under a guided physical therapist. which will help the muscle tone to improve and you will be fine soon. multiple joint pains can be due to non use rather a surgery u have undergone. kindly meet a close by physical therapist and workout on daily basis. slow and steady wins the race.
