bone pain

[chronicmistake]

my main symptom of wd is severe pain in my leg bones and my arm bones.  Help!  hot bath help but unless I live in the tub I am in pain.  I know it is opiate wd.  I took some tylenol.  any other ideas.  I guess I should feel blessed that pain and fatigue are my primary symtoms.

@vicki....what are you gonna do?  Run over me with your bus????????? ; )

@avis.....I tried that naked chandelier thing, and it didn't work?????

[vicki595]

AVISG !!!    I'm on the floor !!!   LMAO!!


Lee Ann~ Yes I'm taking something!  I'm taking NAMES and you're #1 on my list!  ;0

I'm gonna try this soap thing right now!!  I'll report back!!

[avisg]

maybe its like the soap under the sheets at the bottom of the bed for RLS heck we all know while in wd we would swing naked from a chandler if someone said it would help...lol

[LeaAnn807]

Vicki, are you taking something? : )

[vicki595]

It's the pressure on the calf muscle that brings relief,I guess.  I haven't ever done that but
there are others who have and apparently Ivory is the best soap to use. Now that's funny!!    IBK will share...

[LeaAnn807]

I know...please tell about the soap, IBK??????

[chronicmistake]

Don't feel sorry for me.  I did this to myself and I am dealing with it.  I am so thankful that there are good people out there in the world that care and are there for others that they don't even know.   :) BTW:  What is up with this bar of soap and taping it to your legs?  I am sorry but I cannot stop laughing.

[vicki595]

I can feel it,too. Poor you!!!    Really hot water in the tub;soak until cooked!

Have you tried Icey Hot?   That might help a little...And definitely Motrin 800mg around the clock every 8 hours. You need to build up blood levels.  ;)

[LeaAnn807]

OMG....I can actually feel it again just from seeing you describe it!  Heating pad and baths.  I would say that advil helped me more than tylenol if you can take it.  Take 800 mg.  

Sorry!  If it helps you any, I am having sympathy pains for you!!!!!!!!

I wraped myself in an eletric blanket in the middle of sept besides the hot flashes it did help with the bone and musle pain

[chronicmistake]

Thanks.  feeling strong mentally. i can handle the pain but just annoying.  I feel so free not spending my day looking for my refills. :)

I remember that feeling like it was yesterday and it was awful. I never have found anything that takes it away, only eases it.

Some things I did---Hot baths, we talked about that. I also wrapped heating pads around my calves and tied them as tight as I could stand it. The heat and the pressure helped. I also taped bars of soap to my calves and laid on my back. These things, like the hot baths, were only temporary. The only thing I found to work was as much exercise as I could muster (namely walking) and time. You may come to hate the word time because it passes so slowly in the first few days.

Just give it another day and I think you will see a big difference. Hang in there.
