Comedown - back pain

[ellabella]

is back pain a common symptom of coke withdrawal?

SWIM did a bit more than 1/8g in 3 days and hasnt had any since last night.

SWIM has also been taking valium most nights, 20-30mg... (none so far today) could that be it?

or is SWIM being stupid and it's something totally unrelated?

it's middle back pain and SWIM has taken 2 paracetemol & 2 ibuprofen and it still hasnt gone away. she hasnt been sitting funny or doing anything straining. the pain isnt deblitiating but bad enough to REALLY hurt

How about just switching off for a few days? No coke, no paracetamol, no nothing.
Get a good warm bath, sleep enough and relax or even go to the doctor if necessary.

There are so many reasons why your back could hurt...never heard of any drug relation, though.

thanks for the reply. was probably just my head blaming it on having no coke/not being in the situation to take it anyway!

unfortunately no rest for me as i had to clean the house and then help my mother give birth :O not kidding

You're welcome. Just try to relax sometimes...makes things going easier

Depending on how hard you've been hitting your kidneys, perhaps there's the chance you could have a renal infarction. This depends on where you define mid-back/lower-back.

Im not trying to scare you but rather you be informed on what's possible.

foook. well thanks for the warning. SWIM did have a liver thng before... ahh shiitttt. SWIM has been hitting it pretty hard. booze most days, valium, diphenylhyramine, ketamine (when available), cocaine, pills.... :S

There's a chance it could be psychosomatic. If you expect this pain the next time you use, then it may resurface even if the original problem goes.

I'd say go see a quack and get it checked just in case.

Don't mention the drugs. You don't need to know how a pain came about to get yourself examined.
