Hi there, what you are experiencing are the side effects of the medications prescribed for post hip replacement. Feeling heavy in arms and elsewhere will get better once your hemoglobin levels rise. But that should not stop you from the physiotherapy you were advised and good diet, moderate actvity is important .
