Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
There can be some infection in the body which is generalized which is causing this weakness, to get it diagnosed you should go for complete blood picture done and even complete health check up done.
As only an infection of implant can not cause these kind of severe symptoms. So you should go for complete examination.
Hope it will help you.
