Why all this physical pain!

I don't know how long you were on benzos or how much you were taking. Can you create a signature line under your name showing your use so I can better answer your question.

Hi, I had severe muscle pain during my taper and after. My entire back and legs. It is mostly gone now - here is what I did: went to a chiropractor to get my spine straightened, went to a massage therapist once a week, got orthotics in my shoes to balance my legs, took Espom salts baths, did leg stretches, went to acupuncture every two weeks, cut out all stress and took walks. My muscle pain was severe from Oct. 2013 - May 2014. The massage therapy helped the most.

At soon to be 13 months off I feel my muscle pain is getting worse also.  Legs, lower back and arms.  I feel like I have the flu times 100 with the body aches.  The mornings are the worst.  I just don't understand feeling worse this far out.  I keep having test because I'm having a hard time believing that it is still withdrawals.  I feel like I have permanent damage.

 

 

allsionleigh,

 

How long where you on benzos?  Did you have the leg pain as soon as you woke up and lower back pain.  My lower back is so stiff.  I'm thinking of going either to a chiropractor or a pt.  A chiropractor scares me since I already have osteoporosis.

The only thing I've found to help the physical pain is Epsom salt baths and time.

I use to get so frustrated reading that time is the real healer, please believe me, it is.

It will get better. Hugs.

Do you think those Epsom salt baths would help my feet? I'm having incredible pain in both feet. It seems as if the nerves are right at the surface. Yesterday I took a long walk, and I'm really paying for it today. I just started having this pain a month or so ago.
