Question about effectiveness on pain from surgeries

never had those surgeries, when i had my surgery i took plenty of pain medication more than reccomended which was fun. but marijuana if nothing else will help you forget you have pain, (makes me forget a lot of shit, easy shit) until you move again, worth a shot anyways it won't make your pain worse

 

^^^ what he said. i hear of people smoking for chronic pain all the time. i myself, being young and healthy fortunetly only know weed as a rec. drug.

 

MJ can definitely help with pain...Try to get a pure or heavily dominated indica strain...and smoke a lot of it.

 

Cancer patients use Marijuana... and their pain is quite powerful as well. I would suggest at least trying it - it's a lot safer than those chemical body fucks the doctor gave you!

 

go with the oxy's there your best bet to be totally honest, not against medi mary j, but the oxy is designed perfectly for this. take more haha

 

dude honestly, if oxycontin cant help your pain then you gotta rough it out.

unless you have oxycodiene? which i would bet you have.

cuz if youre not feeling the oxy's you must be superman's child.

but here, crush the oxy/lortab/etc. and put it in a small square of a tissue. wrap up the powder in the tissue and make little paper balloon of it and swallow chasing with chugs of liquid. (not alcohol).

wait 20 mins, then smoke to activate the pill. if that doesnt work then fuck it man. just tough out the pain.

you could go to your doc and tell him whats up and try to get a higher dosage.

 

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that marijuana is a little too strong for the pain while oxycotin is not? If that's what you meant than just smoke a little less or try to get a different strain that is not dominantly indica... it's weird, I've smoked indica buds before but they were never that strong, although it varies person to person to some extent.

Are you in a wheelchair? If that's the case than just smoke your bud and resist the temptation to run . I just broke a bunch of ribs and getting high dulled the pain but I had to remind my self not to agitate them by moving around too much. Last week I caught myself jogging down the stairs for some snacks haha but i doubt it did any damage.

Be careful with those pills! You seem to already know how harmful they are so you're a step ahead. One of my friends got addicted to vicodin after he got in a rollover accident so I can't stop stressing it. Weed is a much better alternative to the pills if you prefer that type of relief.

Edit// and if you need evidence as to why marijuana is a safer and healthier alternative to the pills than i'll post the websites if you want them.

 

My Mother had a hip replacement last year, and I'm going to give you the same advice she was given regarding pain medication; whatever you use, be careful of the dosage, because if you remove too much of the pain, you may start unwittingly using the joint more than you should. This can delay healing and promote setbacks in recovery.

As for dope's effectiveness, I'd say it's worth a go. But do be careful not to get so stoned you risk making it worse. Remember, when you straighten up, the pain will be there again, so don't go thinking you can overdo it once it's a bit 'numb'.

All the best.

 

After a recent surgery I used medical marijuana almost exclusevly for pain therapy. I think it is a great medicine, however, the numbness it provides sometimes turns into a strong sensation, and it is important for you to recognize the difference between that sort of feeling, and a feeling of pain that requires ice or repositioning of the joint, or another joint. Try weighing out your medications for a consitent dosage that you can track. Make sure to have some water nearby at all times as dry-mouth is a side-effect. Good luck with the recovery!

 

See your GP asap about substituting the painkillers for non-addictive ones.
