Joint pain is a symptom of opioid withdrawal. There’s this theory that our endogenous / natural opioids have the purpose of inhibiting the natural pain occuring in our bodies all the time. It’s kinda like a balancing act. Even when we’re healthy, our bodies, esp the parts that experience wear and tear, do feel pain, and it increases as we age… our endogenous opioids balance it out.

It’s been found that post-operative pain can be exacerbated by Naloxone, that it causes hyperalgesia ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1438762/?page=3 ). This means that Naloxone can exacerbate any areas of our body that are under stress. Naltrexone can do the same. It makes sense that given agonists kill pain, that antagonists will

It may be possible that you may be more sensitive to the antagonist properties of Suboxone (incl naloxone). But this is just a thought / idea that came to mind.
