Probably a dumb question but have you tried marijuana for pain? Im quite certain that it would be ineffective and not make a dent in your pain with what you are dealing with but im still curious. After seeing your X-rays I figure slamming heroin into your veins probably wouldn't be sufficient. Just curious

Yeah I tried all but smoking or vaping it, including oil, sublingual, gummies, etc. I have a pretty high tolerance for such things, I am finding out, and by the time I get enough to do anything for the pain, it is too much. And CBD by itself did literally nothing at pretty much any dose. With THC it had some minor effect but only after the point I had too much. That is no ****ing fun, I can tell you that. So I gave up on that avenue.


I have mentioned this before, but for me Kratom has been a god-send. Not as harsh as narcotics, but much of the same effect and seems to be even more effective than my narcotics when the pain is more moderate. The one issue there is I build up a tolerance pretty fast so I have to continually increase my dosage. But it works, and I go that route before going for the percocet whenever I can. Unfortunately there are times when only percocet will touch it, but I don't like it much because it completely ****s up my sleep cycle so I end up groggy and disoriented for 1-3 days after depending on the dose. And with my long-term use I have a pretty solid tolerance so I take more than most, when I do take it. Luckily I really only need something, kratom or perc, a couple times a week at most, and some weeks not at all. Mostly 30 percocet last me about 60 days really (10 mg oxy). But in the last year since the incident with my arm it has ratcheted up to 2-3 times per week solidly, so kratom helps me control my percocet usage. I wish they would open up for more research into kratom. I know there are risks but it is worth it for me to have some pain relief.
 
I would be pro-marijuana for the relaxing effect to the muscles. But there are more factors to consider when ingesting certain medications.

That being said, I gifted my mother a vape battery with a cartridge to help alleviate some pain symptoms when other options fail her.

I have told this story before but I will tell it again.
My dad was having extremely severe PTSD from the vietnam war. It was ruining his life and our families lives to a certain extent. He would basically go into pretty long and painful seizures except he would be conscious. They would wear him out. They prevented him from attending family functions and if he did attend he often had to go home early and sleep. (we would give him a sedative when an attack came on). He saw numerous doctors and therapists and tried many medications. Even stayed in the VA hospital for like a week.
Now my dad is a very religious man (he was a bishop in the church for awhile) so was pretty anti drugs. But we decided to have him try taking a hit of marijuana oil off a vape pen when he started having an attack one time.
It was a miracle. stopped the attack in a few seconds and he was fine. Now he has less attacks and is not afraid of them since he has a vape pen on him all the time (he got a medical marijuana card). Pretty much saved his quality of life (he is 79 years old) and eliminated our families worries.

My brother in law also uses it for PTSD and his mom now uses it for sleep and pain. (she is also very religious and was skeptical but it has changed her life for the better in a big way as well)
 
I have heard that besides seizures and PTSD, medical marijuana is especially effective for rhuematoid arthritis and glaucoma. Its can be pretty hit or miss for pain from what i understand. It has worked for me with pain in the past simply due to the high making me distracted from the pain. Works ok for sleep (especially the gummies. My dad takes them for sleep). And can help with someone who is struggling to eat.

A little bit back when I was visiting my sister in California I tried a tincture two different times. It's in a bottle with a dropper and supposedly the full dropper is 10mg, which for a non user is a decently large dose AFAIK. Both times took it around 5pm and put the liquid under my tongue and held it there for about 30s which was supposed to help it kick in faster. I was warned against double dosing thinking that it wasn't doing anything because it can take a while. It didn't ever kick-in that evening, both times I woke up around 7am and felt totally stoned for the next couple hours. Weird AF. Lost interest in edibles and tinctures after that.

I dont like edibles either and i have tried tinctures and they did nothing at all. Smoking and vaping is the way to go for me.

Ok here you go. In a spoiler tag for anyone who doesn't want to see my scars. Of course I cropped it down a bit so we didn't have a wave of uncontrolable vomiting on keyboards.

It definitely gets stares at the beach. When my kids were younger and we would go to a public pool or whatever other kids would ask them what happened, and I told my kids to tell them something like "he killed a polar bear with his bare hands!" or a tiger or something. Then it was really a lot of fun. lol
