My legs hurt horribly. Why is that?!
Question: My legs hurt horribly!. Why is that!?
I had surgery a week and a half ago and today was the first day that I was able to get off the couch for a long time (as cleared by my doctor--he told me to wait 10 days) and I've been moving around a little bit!. But for some reason, my legs are aching and throbbing and I can't stand it!. I was on a liquid diet during those 10 days (I had extensive throat surgery) and today was the first day that I've been able to eat anything remotely solid (I've had runny mashed potatoes and a banana!. whoopee!.!.!.)!. I don't know why my legs hurt so bad (they've been aching since this morning, before I even got up)!. Why are they hurting so bad and what can I do to help it!? I can't take ANY medications for another 2 weeks so don't bother suggesting it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its because you werent using them!. muscles become weak when not in use!. so when you put weight on them it hurt!. and when it hurt before you got up its because they want to be used!. try massaging them for a little bit and heat as well as movement and they should be fine!.
