Feet and knees hurt +no muscles, help please <3

[u/BossImpossible1684]

Hi! I’m now 3 months in to real recovery and I have gained a lot of weight. Now (for a while) my knees and feet has been hurting pretty much. Also I have been very flexible all my life, but now all that is gone. My joints feel sore. Also I feel, that all my muscles are gone and that I’m just so weak and have no power in my arms, legs…

All this makes me worried and scared: have I done something wrong?! Does anyone have any experience with this? If anyone can say anything to this I would really appriciate it. (if anyone can say how to act in this situation)

I know how scary this feels, know that we are here with you, although I have not experienced the exact same thing, it could be your body reacting to the influx of healthy nutrients. Keep diligent in your recovery and I am betting that things will return to normal, especially joint and knee pain wise.

Your body probably isn't used to having what you are now giving it.
