  • SEVERE joint pain.... Detox?

    For the past three days I have been consuming nothing but banana/date/ice smoothies (approx 5 times a day) and since then have had extremely bad pain. All over.... just pain. I have hip bursitis and it has made it worse. My shoulders and back and lower back are almost unbearable. I slouch and limp.

    I am making the switch over to gourmet raw to lower fat and high fruit and am starting this off by doing a week long *cleanse*. Are these signs of detox? I am hoping by making the switch over to lower fat and high fruit that my body will heal itself of the bursitis and am really hoping I am experiencing detox through my joints. I am hoping the 'Devil' is escaping via my joints : )

    I tried looking online about joint pain while detoxing but found some odd stuff. I am also 'search engine daft' .

    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    I have been taking MSM for pain management and it helps wonderfully BUT since this banana cleansing fest it's as if I have been taking nothing. I really really want this to be a detox symptom so it only gives me further desire to continue on!

    Advice?

     I don’t think these are symptoms of detox, there can be many withdrawal symptoms for detox, but that can’t be severe like this I think. The shoulder and back pain might be due to some other reasons. Have you experienced back pain like this before? If you have experienced similar pain before then there would be something wrong with your back. So it would be better to take an MRI and consult a physio. Detox can’t be worse like this I guess, for most of the joint pain a good physiotherapist may be able to help you out. I had severe joint pain before and I consulted a physiotherapist in Mississauga of the Dynamic Physiotherapy clinic and get treatments. So first make sure the cause of the pain is not due to detox and consult a physio.
