Hi, I have this every time i stop drinking ,,it is really bad for the first 3 days or so ,i cant sleep at all ,right when i dose off it feels like i get stabbed in the legs or feet .Feet are numb and hurt,i started to get it in my left fingers as well this week. It does seem to get better and better the more days i abstain.
I have had a few really heavy drinking days in the past where i had the pain all throughgout my shoulders, i remember rolling up in the fetal position on my dogs bed and praying for the pain to go away..
Alcohol is definately responsible ,im on another stop and at the end of day 6 i can still feel the pain ,hopefully i can get some much needed sleep
good luck to you ,I feel your pain
take care
