Mornings are the worst

When I wake up in the morning lately my joints ache and my feet and face feel puffy and swollen...until I get my pills...has anyone else ever experienced this? Is it my liver?

I had puffiness at some point as well, not typical w/d, point is you have to rule w/d and  let time to heal happen. Best way to rule it out.  Likely you will be surprized as to what drugs do as far as the body goes. I have no lliver problem or otherwise no that I am off drugs, A motivating factor use it. You will feel better no matter what.

It is very possible that u r in withdrawal each morning when u wake up...so the pills relieve it...i would get it checked by your doctor as the puffiness does not really coinside with withdrawal as a rule  may be time to think about quitting

I have had w/d symtoms of feet,arm pains, all kinds of aches. I at one point thought my liver, or something else. But after more than six months to over a year my body went normal. I then relaized it was not my body. I was realived to say the least. How to get past the pain of healing is the battle among many we all face. Your ok I am sure. But be prudent in seeking medical opinons just keep that in mind and let the doctor consider your w/d as the cuase in his opinion.

Hi there,,,i don't know if it's anything to do with the liver..but I have had that happen too..In the a.m. i always felt worse just for the simple fact that it was the longest stretch of time that i didnt take my drugs..my muscles ached etc..however i also have had my feet get real puffy and swollen out of no where..i didn't ever get it checked out....anyone on pain meds or others that cam cause possible liver damage should get a blood test every few months to check for elevated liver enzymes..what do you take?
