Hi Island Irish Lady (ain’t no way I’m calling you a witch!! ),

Welcome to the forum!

I think you may be referring to "opioid-induced hyperalgesia." Hyperalgesia is basically an increased sensitivity to pain. Wikipedia has a good explanation, here’s the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid-induced_hyperalgesia

I remember before I got on Suboxone, I was very concerned about my pain being treated adequately with Suboxone. Suboxone treated my pain just fine.

BTW, I’m 99% sure that I suffered from opioid-induced hyperalgesia because it wasn’t until I got off all pain meds and quit Suboxone that my pain really went away. If I suffer pain from my injuries nowadays, I pop a couple of Advil and I’m good to go.
