Awwwwww Ada!

My hip and leg has been unbearable! Can hardly walk anymore. I went to my nephews wedding, about 4 hours and wound up in bed for 5 days.

What I wanted to tell you, and should have posted it on marks post also, is that after you come off opiates, and especially methadone there is rebound pains.

You see the brain gets used to having an outside substance take care of our pain. After you stop using this substance the brain has to start making its natural pain reducers, and the receptors that accept those natural pain reducers used. All the receptors we had before meds atrophyed, and the brain grew receptors to match the pain meds. Now it must regrow the other ones back.

During this time there will be incredible rebound pains, RLS, depression, and other symptoms. The good news is that all the problems will subside, the bad news is it will take some time.
