Abdominal pains after 7 days off percocet

[hanaumo]

Hey all, I took my last perc on Wed morning and was looking for some advice. I have a constant pain (not severe) in my abdomen area and when I go to the toilet I have had diarrhea for the most part each day.  My abdomen basically feels like its swollen up for last 6 days. Also one night I woke up at 4am with numbness in my right hand! Has anyone else ever experienced this while withdrawing?  I was so scared at time that I couldnt sleep again after that!  I had taken perc 10s and also the blue 30s on and off for last couple of years.  In the last month until I stopped on Wednesday, I had been doing several each day.  I dont have any other real symptons though I do get paranoid when trawling internet etc looking for diagnosis.  Is this a normal thing to experience after 7 days off them?  I dont feel bad otherwise and have been back working out.  Im not sure if I get paranoid because I dont want to admit to being an addict and that is why im thinking the symptos are from something else!  Truth is I have been addicted to them of course and couldnt go a day without when on them.  I really never want to feel like this again and just hope I havent done serious damage before its too late!  
My friend suggested that I should get checked for ulcers or other issues though I have no other symptons than what I described?  I also have no med insurance which of course makes my paranoia even greater!
Has anyone else experienced this stomach/abdomen inflated/pain feeling and if so can it last for several days?
I really want to quit and never touch one again after this scary time, though just need assurance that these signs are normal and I am not just masking over another issue!
I thank you guys all for your help and im hoping that this feeling and paranoia leaves me over next few days!  I want to be in control and never have that 'uncertain' feeling ever again!
Thanks!

You are experiencing wd's.  Everything aches, our legs arms and back hurt, we have the runs etc.  Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids.  Bananas help the funny feeling in your limbs.  Soak in the tub or take hot showers as that will help too.  You should be feeling better soon so hang in there.  You can do this~~sara

Thank you for the advice guys!  Yes I had been taking imodium to stop the runs though it seems to have made my stools a little more normal.  Today is day 7 of cold turkey and im feeling the constant ache in my abdominal area and a little in my back.  I worked all day today and felt ok, just now im sitting alone getting freaked out about the constant ache.  I describe it like a dull constant swollen ache, that might be aggravated by laughing etc!  I think the reason I get very anxious is because ive never had withdrawals in the past.  I feel that ive done alot more at times in my life previously and came off no problem.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Also does anyone know what the ache that alot of people get is?  Is it some kind of swelling?  Of course I have a million things in my head I think it could be!  I dont have any other symptons to speak of other than these.  Just hope that it subsides, its not excruciating though worrying of course.
Thank you all for your help!!

Welcome - Stomach issues are very common with opiate withdrawal. The runs are normal for where you are in your detox. Th pain in your abdomen
is likely also a detox symptom. Are you taking Immodium? That will do the trick with the runs but it also can plug you up which in my case caused some
abdominal cramping. I backed off the immodium and the cramping went away.
Numbness in your hands or feet is also normal.  Your anxiety will gradually get better as well. Take care and stick around. You will find a lot of support here.

I had the same, after taking 20+ vicodin, norcos, or percs, everyday.. I had to take immodium to slow the diahrrea..and got abdominal pain.  If it becomes severe u may want to see a Dr.. I felt better physically after day 4...mentally is a slower recovery, but doable.  I went cold turkey off that habit and I'm on day 48 today. Physically I'm fine.. I did have my liver and.kidneys tested.  Mentally I feel good. The occasional thoughts of wanting to take a pill to relax, but knowing I'm an addict and it will never be.just one.  Plus when I think of that euphoric high I used to get I feel physically nauseous.. great deterant.
