My Legs STILL hurt so BAD???

[Sarah231]

Tomorrow will be day 14 and my legs still hurt terribly.

It is even worse at night. I get only a few hours (maybe) every night and
I'm just wearing out.

Does this seem an unusually long time for this to be still going on?

What are you coming off of? I am almost four weeks off suboxone and i still have periods where my legs hurt my sleep is back to normal try taking the melotonin if you arent already it takes a while for our bodys to adjust your doing the rite thing dont lose sight of the prize congrats on day 14.

So sorry about the leg pain,are you taking potassium ?someone will come with better advice I just wanted to say congragulations on 14 days !!! That is really good to hear,hope your leg pain passes soon

[Sarah231]

Vicodin.

Long term (about 10 years).

I've been taking the melatonin and all the other restless leg things that people have mentioned from the drugstore. I even put the bar of soap under my sheet.
I thought it was getting a little better and then WHAM my legs hurt worse than ever.

I want this monkey off my back soooo bad, but I can see how people relapse. The w/d's just beat you up.

Have you tried walking during the daytime to help?   some form of exercise and some stretching before bed...neighbor tried it as she had this and I did not...i work out alot and she is a copd patient so she is limited...she started doing what she could physically and it helped her
