Hello, Fate. Welcome to SR. 
I don't know much about detoxing from pain pills (my DOC is alcohol), but please see a doctor if it gets bad. Please let someone close to you know what's going on. Someone with a better understanding of this should be along today in this thread.
Stick around for a while and keep reading and posting.

Just in my own withdrawal story, day 3 was the worst of the physical pain. Day 4 started getting better and day 6 was in no pain at all.
But the other IMO the worst part of the withdrawal came the depression and the BIG voice in my head trying to get me to us is still going on and I am on day (I think 15)
Some people dont tell you about the part after the painful withdrawals. But most on here will. They are great and will inspire you something fierce!
I can honestly say they had a hand in my quitting pain pills!!
But thats just my opinion!!

Welcome, I wish you the best. I had w/d from pain pills many times. I finally ended up going into a detox unit out of town. But from my experience I will also agree that the Physical symptoms are worst between days 3-5. After day 6/7 you then have to deal with the emotions, insomnia, and temptations. I know I cried for almost 2 weeks straight for any reason and I am not much of a crier. GOOD LUCK and may I also recommend speaking with someone/anyone who can help

Sounds like you might be lucky and it might not get that bad for you! Don't go back, though, the disease of addiction gets progressively worse. You don't have to go through all that stuff that a lot of us have been through. Have you thought about going to any NA meetings? They really helped me kicking pain pills.

Hi Fate, welcome to the board 
I concur, usually days 2-4 are the least pleasant in terms of acute pain, but you should also be prepared for some nagging side effects that can last sometimes for a few weeks (or even months, if you've *really* been off the deep end for a while).
And Hi KJ ... I've missed you
