After an operation, people often get aches and pains in places they did not expect to. The back, neck, hips and legs can all be very sore. The staff in the operating theatre take great care of you when you are asleep and try to move you in to the positions they need you to be in very gently. However, because your muscles are very relaxed as a result of the anaesthetic, sometimes muscles can ache for several days after your surgery. Take it easy, take the pain relief you were given in hospital (or over the counter pain relief according to correct dosages) and your aches should resolve over a few days. You might also find it helpful to keep a pain diary over the next few days recording the intensity of any discomfort you are feeling on a scale of 1-10. You could note down particular times that you are in pain (such as after being out or in the evenings) and whether any pain relief helps. If after a week or so, you are still in pain, I would suggest speaking with your doctor with the pain diary and as much information you could provide him/her. I hope that this helps and look after yourself.
