What Causes Muscle Pain In The Hands And Legs After Colon Surgery?
Hi- ever since my colon surgery last year I have terrible muscle pain. Hands, legs,-hurts to touch some days. Just recently I have also had terrible indigestion, inflamation in my feet and hands and digestion issues and just a general feeling of unwellness and fatige.

Hi,
The pain in limbs even on touch & severe fatigue are due to undernutrition following the surgery (due to the weakness of colon&digestive process as such).
Terrible indigestion & swelling over feet can also be due to the same cause still it indicates reassessment of your basic problem with needful treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
