I’m not normally a big joiner, but this post really resonated with me.

I stopped opiate use around Thanksgiving and started taking Sub. a month later in early January. Two months later, steadily my feet/ankles swelled, maybe my fingers too. My shoes aren’t fitting and my wedding ring is super tight. I have also gained weight. My joints ache pretty badly. I started practicing yoga during this time and initially chalked-up the pain to that and the swelling to who knows? I’ve come to the conclusion that it is a side effect. I’m afraid to lower the Sub. ’cause I’m afraid I won’t have anything to treat the pain that got me into pain killer addiction. Aargh!
