Kidneys?

I have been using Norco and othe opiods for about 1 year. Today i decided that it was a good idea to stop. I was only able to score 7.5/750 and i took alot over the last few days. Something is not right and i have alot of lower back pain. This is rough. The withdrawals i am coping with xanax and ultram but to np avail. Should i see a doc? Is the back pain normal?

well if you have been taking a lot of pain meds, you could of hurt yourself and did not realize it. i fractured my tailbone once and didn't know till 2 days after. i mean they do work for pain right???

The back pain is normal... I just quit 6 days ago myself... the first 3 days were very difficult!  I'm now taking xanax to deal and also ultram which seems to be helping me very well... not to mention i was taking pain killers for 2 years.  the back pain may be a blatter infection from the pks... i suggest you go see a doc. b4 it gets any worse!

I am glad you have decided to try and stop.  There are alot of people here that will be able to help you.  It has been my experience that all kinds of pain is normal. Back, legs, arms, stomach, feet all types of pain.  Hot tub baths helped me and my boyfriend alot.  My boyfriend (Tony) told me that even his hair hurt?  So yes, I think it is normal.  I think if you are having burning while you pea or blood in your pea then I would think that is not normal and maybe you should go to the doc. Hope some of this helps. There are a lot of people on here with more exp than me.  So I am sure you will get some other advice as well.  Keep it up!!!!  You can do it!!!!  I know you can!!!  Let me know how you are doing

Good Luck

i've been hearing rumors about ultram being addictive and i'm beginning to worry that i'll get addicted bc i love to take pain killers... any comments or suggestions for me?

Go see a doctor the two meds you have choose to use to WD with are both highly addicting and the wd from both if you get addicted it far worse .there are safer drugs that will help you that your doctor can put you on just make sure to be honest with him what side is your paid on.

loose the ultram. it is another dead end street. it is worse to come off of than the pain killers. and of course you must know that xanax is addictive too.
sounds like you are getting a rotten trade off here. pain pills for ultram and xanax????
not good.
these both can get you into worse troubles. do not take the xanax everyday.

Left side above hip close to spine. I just got out of a hot bath and it helped. The uktram makes me sleep and it has a small amount of codiene right? I cant go to the doc... I am military. It started with real pain and i liked the high. Kept going back for more percs (which are handed out like candy) and then tried to use vics to kuck the percs... Same old story. Mexico got too dangerous so i started er hopping but i always waited till i was out and docs are alot less likley to hook up the dilodid on the ol brokwn rib routine when youre sweating and dancing and asking about 24 hr pharmacies. I hate myself for this but thanks for the help.
