My joints are still popping and cracking 7 months out.  it doesn't hurt but is annoying.  I'm sure there are many with this.  if it went away how long till it went away?

I have this too and never had it before WD.

Also I feel like I have to do adjustments (Crack my joints) myself to get an short relief of my muscle tensions/stiffness. Can you relate to this?

Since WD all my joints crack and grind esp all along spine. Just breathirng makes them shift. Mine do hurt.

This is very interesting. I had been under the care of a spinal doctor and my x-ray shows degenerative disk disease, plus I do have a scoliosis. They told me the popping/cracking was due to the ddd.

I've also had pain/ muscle pain.

After multiple dr. visits, tests and $$ for co-pays I decided to walk away from the drs.  None of them understand me.

So glad I read this thread!

Peace

Scoliosis and DDD are quite separate from benzodiazepine issues. I wouldn't confound those things. Scoliosis is genetic, and DDD happens to most of us over time. If your scoliosis isn't too serious, then it might not require specific treatment. I have it too, as does my mom, so I have some knowledge in this are. Mine's mild. Hers isn't. For DDD, some people have zero pain from it and only become aware of it if they get an Xray. The best advice is usually for people to stay as active as possible.

I have DDD and hypermobility that means my connective tissue doesn’t work properly so have had a lot of problems for years.

 

Was on diazepam due to spinal injury/surgery and resulting tightness/spasm.

 

Decided to come off because very bad for hypermobility.

 

Problem is since WD pain, stiffness and weakness, musclewasting has got very bad and is making it impossible to do necesssary exercises.

 

Just breathing in makesxmy spinal joints shift and severe dystonia in middle of back, abdomen and ribs when a I was off completely pulled some spinal joints so badly that that area is now so weak and spasmed I can’t sit.

 

Also neck is so weak can’t hold head up without it feeling like it is being pulled down and it wobbles around - makes me feel concussed.

 

I simply don’t know what to do.

 

WD is seriously impacting my previous problems.

 

I see physio/osteopath who try to ease tight muscles but nothing helps and it is so painful.

I'm hypermoblie as well. They say it makes me more susceptible to injury.

I've got definite physical issues but never felt like this before. I know my limits and baby my lower back when I'd have slight pain but now I can hardly do anything without things flaring up.

I've lost muscle mass too. I feel like my inside is dropping or prolapsing downward. Sometimes it hurts my back to just do kegel exercises with the pelvic floor. Having benzo belly doesn't help either.

I hope this all improves when I'm done tapering.

It is a big proble.

 

I actually suffered a pelvic prolapse in February. These are more common in hypermobility but I think the constant dystonia and spasming made it worse. My cervix was sticking out... I now have a ring pessary - there is no way I can do surgery until off drug and a few years out I guess.

 

I can’t sit because back is now so weak. Can’t hold head up on neck. In constant pain. No position is bateable. I don’t know what to do.

I'm glad you shared this with me. I'm seeing an OBGYN specialist tomorrow for something else but I'm bringing this up with her.

My whole insides are different from having bowel surgery in 1995.

Is it not recommended to have any surgeries while we go through tapering? I'm supposed to have surgery on my neck but now the dr is not comfortable with doing it because he doesn't know enough about what I'm dealing with.

Was the procedure for the ring pessary bad?

The ring pessary is just inserted by the nurse at GP practice.

 

It is just a plastic ring inserted in vagina to hold things in.

 

My biggest physical problem re. Hypermobility is loss of all muscle tone + areas of extreme tightness.

 

I have had symptoms of craniocervical instability for decades and that is getting much worse which is very dangerous.

 

Have decided to re-start supplements that might help collagen.

 

I started a thread about Hypermobility and WD earlier today.

 

You should be able to find it from my posts.

 

I listed supplements there.

Hi Ajusta,

 

Have you ever worn a neck brace? I have found it helpful to some degree until i can get prolotherapy.
