The beginning of my chronic back pain sort of came out of nowhere.
- I felt like I was just too young to be dealing with an old man’s back.
When it first started hurting, I thought I had done something to my back so I went to the health expert. Lots of tests and x-rays later, there wasn’t anything discernible the health expert could pinpoint. Of course, my pain became worse and worse. After about five weeks, I was having to just lie there in pain afternoon after afternoon. I still had not found medical marijuana just yet! This resulted in me having to take a leave of absence from my work. This was not at all something I had the desire to do as I easily love what I do for a living… But with time, I began to genuinely assess the situation. The results I was getting from the health experts were not great. There was no improvement and things were not looking great. The health experts couldn’t find a reason however wanted to do exploratory surgery. This seemed a bit risky so I started to learn more about alternative treatments that included cannabis products. I found out how to acquire a medical marijuana card and got that done. With the help of a buddy of mine, we made the first visit to the cannabis store. And it was there that I found the answer to my chronic back pain setbacks. I started using cannabis flower pot products which were suggested to me by the staff at the legal weed store. It has honestly changed my life completely. The medical marijuana not only treats my back pain, however it has improved my perspective about managing my life in general.
