What Causes Severe Joints And Muscle Pain After An Appendix Surgery?
Hello. I have just recovered from having my perforated appendix removed on September 27th . The tenderness has barely gone. But after I was discharged, I have been experiencing severe joint and muscle pain. Where I should be back to normal. I make myself function but my limbs and muscles don t want to cooperate. Any idea what s going on?

Hello,
Muscle and joint pain can be a common side effect of the intervention.
I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication to treat the pain such as Acetaminophen.
I also recommend using magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
