Hi. When I was at Cleveland clinic they talked about how the opiates make your body precieve more pain. Now this could be off a little cause I was in a fog of pain while I was there. So I would assume too that if you are using them every day you are going to experience those days off at the start more painful. Maybe there is something to help you that is not narcotic/opiates. I know many at CC were going through withdrawl and were trying different things but also had to experience more pain. Of course check with your doc. Feel better
