Day 5 and getting somewhere

Lets start by saying it was a much better nights sleep... whew!! I've been dying for that to come about and hope it continues to get even better. I dodnt wake up in a cold sweat this morning thinking it was the end of the world! One thing thats seems to linger however is this foot pain i'm getting bith early in the morning and late at night. Like the soles of my feet are burning and getting achy and annoying throbbing pains. Last night some voltaren helped relieve the pain and let me drift off but i'm hoping this pain gets better on its own and i dont have to take it every night. Anyone out there get foot pain at night from being an abuser of alcohol? Did it get better?

There can be a lot of post-withdrawal symptoms. Go see a doctor if you're concerned. I had really long night sweats and massive insomnia.

Congrats on day 5. Sore feet was a thing with me. Also ringing in my ears. Everything is subsiding though, six weeks in. I feel so great that I am still puzzled as to why I was hurting myself?

I would get leg cramps from dehydration and imbalanced electrolytes.

Dim - I had aches & pains all over while withdrawing. It's such a huge adjustment for our bodies, after all we've done to ourselves. Everything got better.

I'm glad you got a decent night's sleep. It was horrible waking up in a fog & wondering what we'd said or done. Congrats on Day 5.

I too had lots of aches and pains when in w/d. If it doesn't get better, see your doctor.

I'm on day four and my knees are hurting, never have before! I'm getting cramp in almost every muscle in my body - I even got it in my throat earlier when I yawned!

I can't wait to sleep well and wake up non sweaty and panicky :-)

Funny, I just started getting foot pains after5 weeks! I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and it feels like pins and dull aches in my feet.

The one thing that did improve is that I don't have "jumpy" leg anymore.
