Hello!
A few weeks ago I have come off of Codeine/Tramadol, and I have had a dramatic increase in my hunger and subsequently food intake. Within the past few days or so both of my ankles have swollen and become quite painful, I have gained 20 pounds in the space of three weeks (I was 195 lb - 6 foot 2) so am thinking this is likely related to that fact and perhaps an increased salt intake. (I've also been having very slight breathing trouble when sleeping that I feel is related - sleep apnea)
I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this? I'm a bit worried as I have a congenital heart condition and swollen ankles can be a symptom of heart failure, however I don't appear to have any of the other symptoms related to that, thinking a trip to the doc is in order.
Has anyone else experienced this symptom after withdrawal and on into recovery? I'm thinking it is purely related to the weight gain from the hunger rebound, so will be lowering my salt and calorie intake. Just wanted to get some opinions on others who may have had the same problem.
Many thanks!
