I found out the hard way that I am indeed not bulletproof.
This was sort of a stunning surprise to me.
Up until I got hurt, I had never really sustained the sort of injury that I couldn’t bounce right back from. And that’s saying a lot since I have been known to be a bit of an adrenaline junky. Until now, I just got back up and kept going. Chronic back pain was the result of a rather serious fall. Yet, I’m much more hopeful now that I’m taking medical marijuana as part of my treatment regimen. My injury left me with chronic back pain that I have chosen to try to work through before getting back surgery. There is no guarantee but it’s worth a try as surgery can just open the flood gates to a lifetime fo procedures. The medical cannabis comes in because I definitely had to stop using the pain meds. I could see a straight addiction in my future there. With cannabis there is no worry there. Cannabis really helps me get the most out of my rehab and exercises designed to relieve the pain and get my life and back back. When I use cannabis, my flexibility is greater and the risk of spasm is much lower. These are two crucial points to me getting the most out of my physical therapy. Plus, I like the side effect of being a bit more happy and hopeful when I use the medical cannabis. I’m lucky that the dispensary near me even offer cannabis delivery. I’m improving steadily and it’s due in large part to weed and the weed shop.
