My knees have been hurting probably for the last month.

The only joint pain I had preop was lower back pain when I was standing/walking to long.

But now I have knee pain, and it can be pretty bad at times. Sometimes it goes away completely.

Jackie, the Nurse @ Dr. Hares said it is weight shifting, but it just doesn't seem it would cause this much pain, and why doesn't my back hurt? Anyone else have knee pain very soon post op?

I only had pain in my lower back, and now I have it in my hips when I walk.  Someone else has told me that it's my skeleton shifting back into place after such a big weight loss and that I need to strengthen my muscles.

 My bone/joint doc recommends Glucosamine Chondroitin; it's over the counter.  The WalMart pharmacist recommends Spring Valley brand. I take three a day of the two a day formula; I buy the double pack of 170 count Triple Strength.  Buying it this way is ten bucks cheaper than buying two of them separately; I use three a day, and the forty bucks comes to $10 a month, for four months.
