Hey there,
Someone close to me woke up one day to find their arm no longer functioned properly. Maybe 50% of the muscles no longer can be activated and/or are permanently cramping. I know that this person used opiates/heroin at the time(unsure about that night though) but was a very casual user.
They have gone to a lot of doctors and had a lot of tests but nothing seems to be able to be diagnosed and no treatments/medications have improved it particularly. It has been months.
So I'm just reaching out for any experience people have here with this kind of thing. I remember vaguely watching some documentary/interview.. can't remember waht it was about but remember a guitarist mentioning how his arm had a similar thing happen to it after leaning it over the back of a chair during a session/hangout(unknown if drugs involved but seemed like it when I was watching). It took a 6 months from memory before that guy could start to play guitar again. I don't know if thats the same thing or not but its the only other story/information I have on this.
Please if you know anything about this kind of situation I would love to hear anything you know. He is in a bad way, this has really fucked his life up and its exacerbating his suicidal and depressed thoughts.
