41 days
Hi!! My name is Tina and today makes 41 days clean from Oxycodone and Ms Contin.I went to medical detox for 3 days and have been winging it on my own since.My energy is ok but wish it was better.Achey in upper back and stiff neck.I had a Spinal Fusion on my L5S1 in Feb.Super worried that when fall gets here I will have to go back on meds because I have Osteoarthritis and Disk degeneration disease. Taking Ibuprofen and Robaxin,Gabapentin.Dr prescribed a med for anxiety but it makes me drowsy and there is no way I can take it 3 times a day.With my back I have to be up moving around during the day.Does the achiness go away?New to this forum..

Congrats!
Yes, over time you will stop feeling so much pain and aches.
Over time you will also start to feel "normal". - What kind of normal? I used to think that I had "broken" myself. I watched all of the rest of the people in the world go to work, clean their houses, go to the store, talk to each other, etc and think "how do they do it?". I knew that I used to be able to function without drugs, but I had crossed some line and I could never go back.
When I stopped using I got to the point where I didn't feel dope-sick any longer, but I felt... wrong. Shattered.
This goes away. The emotional roller coaster takes longer, but it starts to flatten out as well.
Facing life and the noise in our head takes work, and it takes help. What are you doing for a recovery plan? NA made all the difference for me, and i did NOT want to go to NA. - Best thing I ever did.
Hang in there.
