One side body numbness

[[aa...]]

Hello do everyone who has had one side body numbness weakness muscle issues ever heal? Am 28 months of cold turkey n see no improvement or any window pretty much disabled.  Am hopless anymore.

I too have muscle issues in one side - my right had side between my diaphragm and hip.  It does move around but that is where it is most concentrated.  Severe muscle contractions with a burning sensation.  The main concern is that I am now 46 months off benzos and am still hurting so bad. 

The usual story as described by many Benzo Buddies.  My number one issue, from when I quit, was always muscles/joint pain.  When I quite, the pain started in my right foot and leg and then with time it moved to my hip and the to my lower lumbar back. 

I did have some windows and every time was thinking I was healed but the pain always returned. 

I really did think I was over it a few months ago as my pain levels had come down quite a bit and I had consistent relief (not gone by any means but enough to feel that I was healing).  Now I am back in a severe wave with intense pain again. 

Don't know how long this will last.  Previous waves have lasted months.

Hope you feel better soon.

How long are your windows now if I might ask

The last real window was several months ago - maybe lasted a few days but my "windows" are where I am not in nasty pain - if the pain subsides to more moderate or very light then I call that a window.

I have numbness in my right arm and hand. Very difficult to write. I am happy to hear its a withdrawal symptom. I thought I had a stroke. I had a stroke last year hence the lorazepam for the anxiety. This site helped me a lot because I found that all my issues are withdrawal related and not life threatening. Calmed me a lot.
