After using for a few weeks, my muscles feel weak. I have an overwhelming urge to stretch everything as much as I can including flexing muscles in my face, neck, hands, fingers, feet etc. and it feels unusually good, as if I really needed it. I can be doing this non stop. almost like RLS in withdrawal but not kicking.

Does anyone else get this and know what I'm talking about? What is causing it? Could it be just from lying around so much and neglecting my body so my atrophying muscles are craving a workout, or is it a direct effect of the drug?
 
I also get the feeling that i want to stretch and contort myself alot while quite high, not when im off the drug though.
It feels good.
 
Everything feels good on heroin. Everything. So you compulsively want to keep doing it. Like how some people enjoy the itching sensation that comes with the histamine release.

If it isn't bothering you, why question it?
 
I have to stretch uncontrollably only when I'm kicking...not while currently under the influence.
