Patch side effects

Anyone who uses the patch experience sore and stiff muscles?  I can't decide if it's the patch or the plumbing work I did on Saturday.  Started the patch on Friday, plumbing work on Saturday, sore and stiff on Sunday and Monday.  If it is the patch, should I stop?  go to the next step to lower the dose?  I'm planning waiting till tomorrow to really decide.  If my muscles are sore for more than 3 days it's a little unusual.

Any input is appreciated.

Howdy,

  I used the patch the last time I quit. Never any sore muscles but REALLY intense dreams. WOW. I think it was probably the plumbing. Drink lots of water and take hot showers to relax and soothe your muscles. Good luck!!!!
