Recovering from injury also comes with trips to the legal weed store
I certainly wasn’t looking to go from back patient to junkie so I started to learn the facts about medical marijuana.
So it turns out all that talk about being careful when you are lifting heavy objects was one hundred percent true. Of course, I thought it so didn’t apply to me because I was strong. Yanked one too many things that was too heavy for me to lift and ended up really injuring my back. But adding medical cannabis to my recovery process was just the lift I was looking for. When I initially injured my back, I knew right away I was in trouble. So when I got home I took a hot shower and tried to lay down. My wife put a heating pad on me and I took the usual over the counter anti-inflammatory meds. By the next day, I could hardly move. Just getting out of bed to go to the bathroom was excruciating. So it was off to the doctor and the misguided belief that it would all go away. But the pain continued to intensify. I was prescribed pain medications along with muscle relaxers. They helped me sleep and helped me get through physical therapy. But then it took another turn. I was unable to do the physical therapy without really leaning into the pain medication. I certainly wasn’t looking to go from back patient to junkie so I started to learn the facts about medical marijuana. That led me to figure out how to get a medical marijuana card and access to the legal weed store. These days, I’m getting through my physical therapy sessions and I’m now fully and completely recovering. That just doesn’t happen without the cannabis flower products that pulled me through.
