Could this be a sign of a bigger problem or just comes with pancreatitis? " It is impossible to say what it is for you, but muscle and joint pain is one of the symptoms of drug withdrawal. Since we take such huge amounts of narcotics, it is common for our bodies to go through withdrawal as the dose is wearing off and before our next dose. I did not know this and a few months ago, I went through a complete drug detox. The muscle and joint pain was horrific but eventually subsided once all the narcotics were out of my system. I recently had another attack and had to go back on narcotics. The muscle and joint pain have returned. Of course, there are numerous reasons for arthralgia, joint pain, many of them having to do with the immune system, so I never want to rule anything out.
