Moderate pain in hips and legs just walking for 5 minutes!

Has anyone experienced this? This is a new symptom for me! Please help if you can relate! Thanks

I had pretty bad pain in my hips when I started my taper. I had a hard time walking and wanted to walk with a cane but that would have looked very strange. I took magnesium and it helped a great deal. Use caution if you try I t because for some it revs up symptoms. After the first 1/3 of my taper I never had hip pain again. Trust it is a normal part of the process. Your brain is healing.

Thank you mountaintop! It helps to know others have had the same symptoms! I wish you well!

I seem to have quite a bit of joint pain, mostly in my upper extremity joints, but with regards to my legs it is more of a weakness after walking a short distance, almost like my legs will not carry me farther and will give out any minute (which they have not yet).  Has anyone else had this symptom?

My legs have hurt/burned/aches constantly for almost two years. That’s how I figured out benzos were affecting me so badly. It’s way worse after exercise. I try to walk anyway for health reasons- to get some movement. I was just thinking this morning- one day my legs will feel normal again! One day.

I get the weakness too, Maggie. I try to keep walking as well St Teresa.Thank you both for responding!  Happy healing! We got This!
