“Can general anesthesia cause muscle pain?”
I am a 38 year old male. I want to know if general anesthesia can cause muscle pain?

General anesthesia is only rarely associated with muscle pain, in cases where surgical positioning leads to a muscle strain intraoperatively that is masked by the unconsciousness of general anesthesia.
Yes some medication used can cause muscle aches and pain but usually temporary and subside in couple of days.
Yes, due to muscular relaxant anectine.
