leg pain from withdrawal?

I'm titrating down from oxycodone and hydrocodone,

I am working with a pain management doc to do this but the last few days my legs have felt achey as well as tired.

Is this something that could be from coming off the pills maybe a bit faster than I am supposed to?  I sometimes try to skip a few more and actually sent my self into withdrawal last night.

Thanks

Thank you so much for answering.  I have a couple of medical issues going on at the same time and there are times I can't figure out what is causing what and neither can the doctors.  At the worst I was on 120 mg of oxycodone.

Jimmy I'm sending you a pm.

Thanks

Abritt is correct that is all part of the process ! You will have good days and bad but you will get better soon . How much were you taking and for how long may I ask ?  Jimmy

This is part of withdrawal and part of the taper process because you are putting less narcotic in your body than it is used to. While doing a taper you want to take the least you can while not feeling like complete crap but you will feel some withdrawal while doing it but it shouldn't be very bad because tapering is just getting your body and mind used to having less and less narcotic to function correctly

Good luck and Godspeed
