95 days off opiates and BAM

I am going to have to whine, so sorry to everyone that I have to do this.  I am still having neck and shoulder tension and headaches still feel the tension in my shoulders all the time.  Went to dentist to see if it was a bad tooth, been to the ear,nose, throat doctor, he said I need nose surgery, well I have known that for 20 years.  But anyway this head stuff and tension is crippling. Anyone else had this problem?  I am thinking maybe I need to have a brain scan next.  Thanks for letting me whine. I am not usually such a baby. Oh!!  I still cry daily.  This is so ruff on the body.

Thanks for your input.  Yes I made an appt. with the Chiropractor yesterday.  I know why I took the lortab, necka and back. I have problems with dizziness since I stopped the pills also.  Going to get teeth check out Tuesday.  I am really praying the chiropractor can help me.  Again thanks to all for  your input.

Hey There,  I dunno, but it does sound like you have a few different things going on. The teeth /jaw pain does sound like sinus stuff, but the shoulder/neck thing sounds muscular? I wonder if sinus medicine, decon/antih, and an anti inflammatory medication would help? There is no reason to be in such pain. I would go for second opnion but be very clear you don't want narcotics. Also ice does WONDERS! Keep your head up. You will figure this out!

Oh yeah- for years I got headaches and it turned out my neck was not in line.  Went a few times and bam- no more headaches.  Still have to go periodically but well worth it.  I hate headaches.

Hey- I had the same problem and went to my chiroprator.  Its something to consider.  YOu have a lot of tension in your body when going through detox and he cleared it up for me- at least the neck part:).

I have bad pain in my upper teeth area also.  But I feel for you if yours is like mine.  I dont know how much more i can take.  I burn like fire in my shoulders all across them, then neck just about the same way,  then this headache, and aching in teeth.  I have tried to be strong but I am going insane.  What do you do? I take alleve, tylenol.  I dont know, if someone cant give me some relief, I dont know what is going to happen.  I guess since I have quit the lortab, I am wondering if my whole spine has deteriated.  I feel like I am not going to make it.  I hope you can get some relief for yourself.  God Bless you
