hello to everyone, I have another question...

   Just to let everyone know, I go to the doctor finally in May to take the next step since testing positive for the Hep C antibodies. Wish me luck!

But what I wanted to ask you guys was, my body hurts all over, in my joints, muscles, and its weird the way it hurts to, or ive never felt pain quit like this as far as type of pain. Let me explain. I feel like there is no fluid in my bones in different places, or several places at a time. I'll feel sharp sticky pains right on top of my shin bones often and its starting in other places like my shoulders but mainly on top of my shin bones. Sometimes my fingers dont move right like they are locked in place or double jointed in a way and I just have to work it out. They feel like they are so dry inside and its just bone.

    My legs and my feet hurt in the evenings especially if ive been on them more than normal every single day in ways they have never. The pain is not intolerable and ive kinda gotton used to it and just try to think its normal and no biggie, but it is and will be if it continues. I just try to think its gonna go away when I stop the methadone cause theas when it started. At night, my body hurts all over, especially my shoulders. And its definently bone pain. When I sit at the computer for any length of time, all the sudden the top part of my spine will pop several times when I sit up a little straighter or slouch more, move just a little and it has that bone tearing sound if you know what I mean. All of this things ive never experienced until I got on Methadone.

    Thank God im sleeping well even with the pain as long as my nerves are ok thanks to the methadone and all of this may very well be steming from the methadone and im going to post this on a methadone forum as well, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same kind of bone grindin feelings, swelling, and pain without being diagnosed with Athiritis or any other bone and joint issues.

     Ive talked to ppl at my clinic but no one has said they know what im talking about really. They kinda do but I feel like an old woman whos had a really lot of car wrecks and had a piano dropped on me from 5 stories about 10 times during my life. If I get out of bed to go pee or something, it rediculess how stiff I am and how slow I have to move. I have literally jumped out of bed to hurry and get my dog or something and forgot and fell done cause my legs couldnt move fast enough. I dont know if ive addressed this before, but its becoming frightening really if this is a sign of possible things to come.

    Im dosing down now to change over to Suboxone and then completly off everything is my goal. I did the Suboxone for 5months before the methadone and I didnt hurt so its definaltely a quiencedence that it started with the methadone, but no one else knows what im talking about so...any info would be helpful or just opinions or experience with this would be great and appreciated and hello again everyone. Thank you very much!!

My back pain never hurt this bad when I was on the suboxones but since going off them it intolerable, so yes I believe they are a good painkiller just as my doctor said but I never believed him.

I hope you test negative in May good luck girl!
