33 days clean from norcos and still has stomach problems

hello everyone, its been a few days since i posted any news on my brother , today is 33 days  clean from norcos and i'am so proud of him , allthough he still has stomach isues that puts him to bed atleast once a week . has anyone had this problem comming off pain killers . he still takes daily vitamins, since he isn't running off the energy the pain killers gave him he gets very tired . he really doesn't have a life anymore his body hurts all the time . he has been a true blue fighter in this battle .he was put on them for pain he just abussed them by taking more then he should like we all have . but he is really fighting a battle between his body hurting all the time and his stomach , so guess what i'm asking is there light at the end of the tunnel with this ?

It sounds like the stomach issues are caused by something else. He should definitely see a doctor. I never had any stomach issues during my detox...I know everyone is different, but he should get checked out just to be sure there's not some kind of serious issue going on that's unrelated to the pain meds.

I think maybe he should see a doc. I too was taking Norco 10s - 8 to 10 a day for well over a year. I'm at day 35 of my recovery, so just two ahead of your brother. No stomach issues; feeling almost normal and really enjoying life. Lots of energy. Granted, we all heal at different rates but it seems like he should be a little further along. Just an opinion. I'm sure someone else will be along with advice.
