I swear I'm Cursed

[ultimatebattle]

quick history, I quit cold turkey off 20-25 vicoden and perc a day habit, withdrawals were horrible of course, but im in alot of pain cuz I initially started takin these for pain from Scoliosis which has caused severe back problems, I got 18 injections in my back that made me feel better than I felt in years, so I figured it was time to quit, well, 4 weeks after making the decision to quit my neck started killin me, Ive gone to the Chiropractor, no good, so I have just been dealing with it along with my back aches which I take excedrin and aleve for, well now, It feels like im either getting Kidney Stones or a pulled muscle in the middle of my back that hurts like hell, since quitting my quality of life hasnt really been all that great, yeah im glad I dont count, chase, worry about everything and withdrawals and stuff,, but the pain *****, not looking for support or thinking about relapsing, just needed to vent and I feel like crap, this Saturday is 8 weeks that Im real pround of, but dangit, I everytime I start to feel better something goes wrong, and no its not the addiction talkin to me, I know the differance, thanks to all for listening

Hi Ultimate,
I also got these really killer muscle pains in my upper back near my shoulders and neck. I literally couldn't think of anything else. Here's a couple of ideas. Get a deep tissue massage. get some hard rubber balls and lie on yur back and put them under your back and roll on them. I use yoga tune up balls by Jill Miller you can google her routine if you are interested. Sounds too simple to work, but I swear by them. Also try a hot epsom salt bath. Stay strong!

I hope you feel better soon! It's hard dealing with pain and not being able to take anything "strong" for it. I hope it all works out for you!

This other pain started after being over a month clean, I woke up fine, with the usual pains, drove to work, and when I was almost there the pain started, its a pain I've never had before and can't imagine it being my addiction, it is tender to the touch in the muscle next to my spine in the middle of my back, all my pains are on the lower back and in my neck, but even if it isn't serious, its one more thing, I'm not goin to the doctor cuz I can't have pain meds so ill wait it out

WOW, if you know the difference between real pain and your addiction talking to you then I need to get a few pointers. Seriously, I have never been able to make that distinction on my own.

So, if you are in pain, which it seems that you are, then you should get to the doctor ASAP and find out what is causing the discomfort. You are guessing about what it is and it could be a bunch of stuff. Don't guess and don't let it go. Please go and get it checked out.

I hope you feel better. Let us know how you make out.
