Hi friends,
I've been taking codeine now for some time both for pain in my arms, but also because I am very addicted to it and can't quit easily.
About 5 months ago, I started feeling some pain, kind of a light burning, in my right lower abdomen, mostly when I go to sleep at night, and I am sure this is from codeine. I've been taking probably too much of it, however, the pain seems to get a bit worse when I am out of codeine, for example for 2 days without taking it for whatever reasons, the pain increases. When I take a lot of codeine, the pain disappears, but I think this is just the pain killing effect of codeine itself. What could codeine be doing to me? Could it be damaging my liver? Does this often happen with people taking codeine? I am taking dihydro-codeine. The pain is not much, it's just a discomforting burning, very light, it doesnt actually is pain, but again just a burning sensation.
Does anyone understand what might be happening?
Thanks in advance.
