As I’ve grown older, I’ve started to experience a variety of medical issues.
They are thankfully minor enough that I don’t plan on seeing a doctor.
My issues rarely interrupt my daily life. However, the pain certainly isn’t pleasant. I suffer from leg cramps in my calves. They often show up at night when I’m trying to sleep. A couple of years ago, I tore my trapezius muscle in my back, and the pain occasionally flares back up. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and runner’s heel in the left foot. I rolled my right ankle a little over six months ago. While the discoloration and swelling is gone, it still hurts whenever I run, jump rope or do anything that puts stress on the muscle. I deal with arthritis in my fingers, tennis elbow and migraines. Rather than risk the negative impact of pharmaceuticals, I have found a natural and effective remedy in cannabis. I regularly shop at the local dispensary. They carry a huge assortment of cannabis products covering all consumption methods and potency. I have easy access to the most well-known brands and innovative strains. Their shelves are loaded with smokable flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, vapes, topicals and an assortment of gear. I like gummies because of the long-lasting and intensive effects. I choose pre-rolls for their convenience and quick onset of effects. Disposable vape pens are so easy to use, discreet and cause no mess. I have gradually figured out the ideal level of THC, CBD and terpenes that alleviate my various symptoms.
