Myofascial Pain Syndrome and smoking intensifies discomfort??

Try edibles or I use a tincture. It is more of a body relaxant.

edibles or tincture sounds like a good way to go ^ ive tried cbd crystals and they had my body numb too

check out this book on trigger points... ive been trying to tackle this big book but havent been to hyped on it reading it lately
" The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Trea
by Clair Davies "

trigger points are "knots" in the muscles that everyone gets.. and this book teaches you how to find them and self-massage them out.. the book goes into all these different illness and back/leg pains etc. that people were having and they were getting healed completely by someone finding these small knots and applying pressure and rubbing the knots out.. some knots take almost a week of hour sessions to take care of..

trigger points sounds like phony BS to the professionals in the medical community and massage artists.. but from what i read out that book i definitely believe it.. altho it may take tons of practice and it may all be for nothing !
one thing i remember'ed is they said you have to have very sensitive fingers to feel the very small "knots"

they have the pdf online to read for free and the book is really cheap online... i hope you find something that helps! it sucks to hear the dabs made the pain worse..:/
oh and by the way i've seen that word "Myofascial" alot in that book

 

Hey soccesam2463, I'm 20 yrs in college and having the same exact symptoms. In high school, I had a stress fracture in my back, leading to months of physical therapy. I started smoking the wedd coming into college and would literally freeze up in my neck like arteries you know what I mean. I was pretty concerned about it because it feels like it affects your entire nervous system. I visited my internal medicine docter and we did a full body assessment. I am in excellent health and condition This was good news but I was so frustrated because we could not find the cause of the spasms and shock like pulses in my body. Last month we found the reason of the discomfort. It turns out, I was creating a sickness in myself. When I initially felt the muscle pain I began to stress over it. Mary Jane, being a rather powerful psychoactive causes intense sense awareness. This all sums up to excessive stress and anxiety over a problem that seems like a revolving door of confusion because no one understands. The reason for this is because you probably are so self aware that you can't think about anything else. My doctor and I had a long discussion and we came up with theory that I have been suffering from anxiety and depression. This was funny becuause I was depressed because I felt like I was sick. My doc and I tried me on a weak anti anxiety medication, lexapro. And immediately all symptoms went away. it's awesome! Also, you should prob stop smoking wedd and think about your purpose in life, it'll take your mind off the make believe pain you have.

 

I have similar symptoms and have had it for over a decade now.

Unfortunately for me, it isn't just cannabis that causes flare ups. My upper back muscle problems seem related to stress and anxiety as much as anything.

I get the same pain when I am in a stressful situation even without cannabis.

When I smoke, if I am anxious at all it magnifies the muscle tightness.

For me, it is all about making sure I am in the right frame of mind before smoking. If I am, then it's all good. But if I am already anxious or stressed, it just makes it worse.

Hope that helped.
