Emma, you have answered your own question you have not been doing a lot and you have lost muscle tone. I know you have had a couple of admissions recently and all that ""no exercise"" means once you start moving around normally at home again your muscles are weak and stiff. I promise it does get better, gentle exercise and stretching will help but work up gently and ""feeling the muscles stretching is fine"" but stop if it hurts.
