It is always good practice to get a check-up prior to doing detox to eliminate any underlying medical conditions. As Vicki stated it is probably her body creating pain to get fed more opiates, but it better to know there isn't a medical problem. I wish you both luck.---Rick

Hi!  If this happens every time she attempts to detox then it's probably normal for HER. It's very common to experience sharp pain during detox. Our pain increases before it settles down...

If it continues then she needs to get it checked. But usually pain is a sign that our brains and bodies are screaming for medicine!

It's always good to have something checked out by the Dr. - and I can tell you I had problems with kidney pain after I quit - and attributed that to the poison (tramadol) I was taking.  But those pains are gone now!  Good luck to your wife - tell her life is SO much better off the pills.  :)
