Woke up, legs hurting and in pain

[bijo]

I'm trying to figure out if this is vaping related and if it happens / happened to anyone .

I've been vaping for 3 weeks now and yesterday when I woke up my legs were in some pretty strong pain. Both legs around the calf, knee and thighs area. Kind of like the feeling you get after working out . After a few hours the pain / tightness would go away.

Anything similar happened to other fellow vapers?

I had a similar experience. "I've been told", lactic acid can build up in your muscles and you need to stay well hydrated. My experience, it went away after increasing fluid intake. Here's the disclaimer, if it continues, see a doc

I think this might have to do with vaping. It is the 3rd day and my legs hurt when I wake up. Anyone else have these similar leg muscle cramps or pressure from vaping? I have an appointment to see Dr next week.

Wow, I just read the large symptoms after esmoking thread and there are MANY mentions of muscle aches and cramps.

This may be related to quitting smoking also. My hubby quit cold turkey about 5 months ago, he doesn't vape. A couple of months ago, his muscle and joint pain got so bad that he had to go to the doctors because he got so stiff in the neck, hips and shoulders. He was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica... Mind you, he's one tough guy, a construction worker with a tough "work thru the pain" mentality.
The doc said that when some people quit smoking that their bodies have worked so hard for a long period of time to rid itself of toxins that when the toxins aren't there to fight any longer, they look for a place to work, sometimes the antibodies go into overdrive and settle in the joints.
Dear hubby had to go through a round of steroids which made him feel better but he is still having some issues with it.
My suggestion is if you don't feel better soon, go to a Dr., putting it off could prolong your symptoms.
I have also heard that pg can cause lactic acid build up, so drink plenty of water and see if that helps.

It could be as simple as becoming dehydrated. How much water - not coffee or soda or tea, but water - do you drink a day? And this is important - have you upped that intake since starting vaping?

Shanagan is correct, what you are experiencing is cramps from being dehydrated. You have to increase your intake of fluids with vaping.

Nicotine is a natural pain reliever, so if anything - it would alleviate the pain.

99% Chance that you are dehydrated or experiencing a typical withdrawal symptom from cigarettes
