60 days clean, need questions answered please

I am still having issues with tingling in both arms, like pins and needles. As most of you know I am coming off long term opiate abuse. 3 years pain pills, 10 years metodone 120mg, and 6 months suboxone. Came off 120 mg back in feb and 50 days clean off subs. I have read that one of the last systems to leave is the tingling. I just wonder if there is some sort of pinched nerve maybe in my neck. I dont have pain or numbness just tingling. Wonder if it is my brain still trying to recover. My left leg has been hurting me for a bit now and still trying to fiqure out whats wrong with it.  I did a very rapid detox off both methodone and subs this year and I am also turning 41 soon. i have had all the blood test and they are fine. I still have clonidine at home i stopped it about 3 weeks ago. i tried one last night just to see if it helped and it did. So it must still be in my head I dont think clonidine would help a pinched nerve but not sure.

Congratulations on 60 days ! As for the effects you're going through we are all different .  Some heal faster and some do not . I think you will feel much better after 90 and even more after 120 days . It took me about 3 months to really not suffer with any of the nasty mentle effects and I was only taking 30mgs a day . Stay strong and seeing your doctor is not a bad idea . Well done ! Jimmy

Your best bet is to probably go see your doc about the tingling.
