Red Warm Legs After Stopping Fentanyl

Updated

My doctor switched me from 125 fentanyl patches to OxyNeo 80 mg every 12 hours on Thursday. I wore new compression socks Saturday and removed them at bedtime. A couple hours later, my feet and lower legs were red and burning hot to the touch. I went to the ER, blood work is good. Could the red legs be a withdrawal symptom?
