Has anyone else noticed?

Since being clean, it seems like everytime I turn around, something else is wrong.  I thought that once I got clean and sober, things would be great, no problems, just a wonderful life.  It hasn't been that way.  It first started with the whole gallbladder situation, then the blood pressure and kidney problem, and now I have such a hard time getting up because my knee hurts so bad.  I feel like a friggin hypocondriac.  My knee hurt so bad last night that I was in tears, but I didn't want to tell my family because I didn't want them to feel like, My God, What's next?  I am wondering if the problems have been present for a long time and due to my "self-medicating" I just didn't feel it.

Has anyone else experienced this or I am a hypocondriac?

I agree that the pills numbed us from feeling the body telling us when something was wrong!  And, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a connection to going off the drugs and the kidney stones.  Who knows!  But, I feel like my body hurts all the time - more than ever!

Thanks Jen, sometimes I think I am going crazy.  I guess the pills helped to keep me from noticing any pain.  I would rather have these aches and pains and be clean though.  I just hate to say anything about it.
