need some direction


Bosco

Question

During my late teens and 20's i used pot recreationally. After about a 10 year gap i tried it again, this time i lost my shite....to this day i never understood what happened. I had smoked pot 100's of times before, however, this one time may years later almost made me lose my mind.

Would love to hear some theories from some experts. 

Could it have been laced?(i am not sure if that's a thing)

Could i have overdone it? (My method of delivery was a bucket bong, remember first bong in 10 years)

 

The reason i need to know this, is i have severe lower back issues, and have tried every opiate, norspan, targin, fentanyl, oxy, endone, tramadol, toradol. etc.....nothing even touches the pain. I have even had the nerves burnt in my back, which gave no relief.

I am very ignorant in this area and i am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am not looking to be stoned, i just want some pain relief and to be able to function relatively normal. I don't know anything about oils nor the preferred strains for my needs. I do know that i don't want something that takes the edge of, it has to really pack a punch otherwise it's not worth it.

I hope i have been clear.

 

regards

Ya need to build your core muscles up, fucking hard to do when your in pain, fuck the GPs they got no idea, you need to find someone that knows what they're talking about

that is a struggle, unless they have had a back injury there not going to help you

 

you got some serious shit going on there, not sure what you can do about it, its a long journey to have a pain free day, let alone a week

got to see me specialist tomorrow arvo, she knows her shit, i'll ask her about it, she's a hard tnuc hey, don't beat around the bush at all

If i can ask...have you had your back fused, or has it been discussed?

Nah, no operations at all, been told i should many times, seen to many people end up fucked from them

it will probably get discussed tomorrow knowing my luck,

only went to see her for a neck problem, ended up getting needles stuck in me facet joints, not a good thing to go thru i can tell ya

walked in with a fucked back one day, she sent me off for a new cat scan(only had one done 6 months before) basically told me i was fucked 

if i wasn't real careful, told me she could help $$$$ gave me a huge serve for not taking it seriously

was the first DR to tell me exactly what was wrong, the bitch i didn't want to know lol lol 

 

i'll ask about it, its probably something i've got to look forward to

Yeah had the facet joint injections..8 different places, it almost broke me! you asked about my pain tolerance, well i would have previously said it was ok, but now i view things differently, it's difficult to know anymore.

It wears ya down after a while, i tell the 4 whenever they ask me pain level, had a broken leg,

snapped me shoulder bone in half, thought that was the worst pain i'd ever see

 

its got nothing on back pain when its real bad, hobbling around with a wooden staff, cant get in the car, cant put ya pants on bad

had a couple of what i'd call 8's last couple of years, lasts a few weeks, i just keep moving, shuffling around in agony

drink bourbon like a fish and smoke pot like a chimney, nothing helps at all really

 

the needles were in me neck, haven't had any in the back, no need yet, don't have constant pain anymore

which surprises everybody except me, i should be fucked apparently, but not willing to lay down and die just yet

me physio uses some of me shit i do to help me out for he;s other patients, reckons i should write a book about it lol lol

Didn't get to see the Physio Dr yesterday, she was running way behind, me 1.30 appointment was heading to 3.30, had shit to do then

turns out i can join ya club, there was another bit on the drs report i didn't see, cervical multilevel disc and facet degeneration  

thought i'd seen facet shit somewhere, not back its neck, but no doubt there would be some fucked back ones as well,

neck gives me the shits way more then me back tho

 

she would say, strengthen your core muscles, there is some other shit on there, advice to me physio about treatment, fucked if i can read it tho

was up for about 38 hours crashed about 7.30 last night , didn't get up to 6.30, way to long in bed, woke up as sore and out of wack as fuck

having a cup of tea full of sativa oil now, got a shit load to do today, might have some inflammation pills, see how the oil go's first

 

i keep moving all day, don't sit for more then 1/2 hour

Do you know what caused your back and neck injuries? Do they say 'ware and tare'? So what do you do for strengthening your core muscles?

Same! I have been on 3 hrs sleep a night for the last 5 nights...due to pain, i even dream pain...and then last night just crashed about 9pm.

Yeah got the old wear and tear happening, its bullshit tho, wear and tear means normal wear or aging, mind you damage from it is irreversible 

 

mine are work related and accident's, was in a truck rollover on the nullabore plain, about 16yrs old got thrown thru the window landed on me head

got cleaned up by a car when i was 21 broke me leg and landed on me head lol, was the start of me back problems as well

stacked me motorbike pissed no helmet landed on me head again, snapped me scapula in half and cracked me neck, was already fucked before it

was really fucked after it, compressed me eco-skeleton totally fucked me back And neck, was back at work 6 weeks later, lasted 6 months and pulled the pin

moved to the country and started share trading, went back to work, never more then 18 months, then have a year off trading shares 

retired from work at 50 a couple of years ago, just enjoy life now, don't let pain stop me from having a good time

go speedway racing, do track days on me bike and generally run amok, ya only live once

Bosco you sound like my dad. He has back damage from a degenerative disease, something like HLAB24 they call it. It was made worse from driving heavy machinery, D11's etc. He would sleep for a couple of hrs a night, then be awake from 1am-daybreak crying in pain. Seen all the specialist as this went on for years. Gets treated like a drug addict because no one believes he can function if he's in so much pain, must be putting it on. Pain is better these days after burnt nerves, cortisone injections every few months, but the pain is still there. Maybe one day he will get on the canna, who knows. Dont think he will until its legal though. Funny, he used to smoke recreationally, but stopped when I was young, then his back problems emerged. Don't know if he see's the link or not. I get a bit of back pain if I work it too hard, canna does help it. I think daily canna takes the eleviates minor pain altogether and takes the edge off bad pain.

 

Dont worry about getting stoned. It will happen, just enjoy it. Even the high CBD strains will still get you stoned, they just carry more CBD than other strains. Just try some different stuff, what works for some, may not work for you and vise versa. And no, your pain will not get you medical cannabis in Australia at the moment. Maybe things will change soon for you and the others alike. Pretty sad really but thats the way it is. The best you could hope for is some trail. Personally I wouldn't want anything the government has to offer. They fuck (both parties) anything they touch and medical canna would be no different. Whole plant medicine, no taking out "bad compounds" and leaving only "good" compounds. Thats not nature and its not required, its all in there for a reason. mmmm, cant wait to get some bio engineered canna into me, not.

For strengthening the core,. the pool, a bit of tai chi, not much really these days just keep active 

wore a hard hat at work for years helped strengthen me neck,

best thing i did was ignore the doctors advice and stopped doing anything till it settled down, then went hard at it to strengthen back up

 

elmores oil is one of the best things to relax the muscles, so you can start working them,

you lose muscle memory after a while, need to reactivate them and keep them working, not as easy as it sounds

 

FFS don't see a chiro, they are butchers and will fuck ya long term
