entering day 7 but body aches

I am now hitting day 7 here and overall I am doing great now but when do these body aches go away?!?! I am so sore and my back and neck hurt still. Majority of the other WDs are gone...is this normal?  When does this part get better and is there something I could do to assist with this?

I have been getting the exercise but I will step it up a notch tomorrow and maybe that will assist. I am a sunlight addict LOL so maybe I need more of that too. I will be getting tons of that shortly on a vacation very soon :-).

I do remember I used to do those whey protein shakes back pre kids when I was a workout fiend and remember it helping me feel good all around.. thanks, I didn't even think of that. Perhaps another GNC shopping trip is in order. I have kinda turned this detox into an all around health kick anyway. I do cook very healthy and from scratch so my diet is really good. I started doing that a few moths ago because like a dumb@** I didn't realize it was the vicodin making me feel like *$$, I at first put it off on drinking sodas and not cooking all the way from scratch...hahah, I can kick myself now because I have no idea why the thought that my drug habit was doing that didn't pop up. Real lightbulb moment there. LOL

HI ...its not uncommon for some symptoms to linger ....again a hot soak goes a long way in making you feel better....you can try some alive or tylonol with time you will start to feel better and better a lot is based on how long and hard your habit was that your breaking
also your age plays a factor....like Toby said exercise and getting out in the sun will help also
im a firm believer in good nutrition play a big part....I recommend whey protein shakes
I still drink 2 a day there loaded with vitamins ecental amino acids as well as the protein
all of witch the brain needs to heal you can pick up a 2lb can up at walmart for 15 bucks
the chocolate flavor is good and all you do is mix it with milk...you cant eat enough of the right foods to get this any other way it will speed up you long term recovery congrats on 7 days by the way keep posting for support good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
