Suggest Treatment For Muscle Weakness And Fatigue

I had double bypass surgery over Memorial Day, now 3 months out. 6 weeks ago I developed a strong rash due to statin and was taken off. Aug 2nd I developed significant muscle weakness, tightness, and fatigue. I was taken of Metorprolol Aug 4th and told to go on 500mg Naproxyn morning and evening. Complete blood work was unremarkable. I was told to taper off Naproxyn after a few more days Aug 11th. When off Thurs Aug 21st the weakness, tightness, and fatigue returned. Today I ended up taking 2 naps of 60-90 mins and still feel weak, tight, and tired. The tightness is more in my inner shoulder muscles, my inner thigh and groin, and neck. It is particularly difficult to get full rotation of my head at a stop sign to ensure clear traffic: I need to turn my head both ways by rotation at the waist/torso.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi, Apart from drug reactions, psychological status has a lot to do as far as muscle aches and pains are concerned, First stay positive, about your illness, and have faith what all is going is for good, this will ease a lot of your tension and muscle pains, second talk to your doctor about this, and third, see a physio, to help you get on with some exercises. begin with light and easy ones at first.
I hope that helps understand your symptoms better and aid in the healing process.
