Hey man , if you got to take it moment by moment , or hour by hour , you gotta do what you gotta do . You ' re sober now , but yeah withdrawals will be a bitch . But you ' re sober , here for you man . <| sep |> I ' ve pulled my back out on several occasions and know how this feels . You can ' t sit , stand or walk without it feeling the intense pain . What helped me the most was a heating pad , a tens unit bought off Amazon Now , Naproxen , Ibuprofen and a muscle relaxer . I was prescribed Amrix extended relief Flexeril . Maybe one of those or a combination might help to relieve the pain ? The best cure is rest . Give that muscle some time to recover and heal . You ' ll be up in no time . I ' m still pretty fresh off quitting , day 10 for me , and don ' t want to get back into that cycle . Tapering was too long of a struggle and I definitely dont want to go through that again . Do you ?
