I accidentally happened upon this on the
net; it interested me because my back "went"
about 3 years ago, and i presently have
limited angle bending ability at a certain
point. This happened during withdrawal and
at the time i got very sudden peripheral
neuropathy on both hands, requiring stilts
for 3 months.That may have been a chemically induced
arachnoiditis; my doctor did not pursue the
peripheral neuropathy and at that time if found
it strange. But now, i am grateful because i
only get the hand numbness less so. I still
have some symptoms that could be attributed to
it and which i mistakenly attribute to my other
drugs.I think it may have been the withdrawal from
Klonopin, and i think that may be what my
doctor thought too.You may find this strange, but i am grateful that
my doctor did not pursue investigation of this.
I just finished reading a story of a nurse who
had spinal invasive surgery and the results were
not good - her life was basically changed into
on of daily, unceasing pain.I think that the greater the number of medical
interventions, the greater the risk of harm.
