What next??
So after years of various pain meds at various strengths my body has decided to react against anything more than paracetamol . So my GP tells me all they can offer me Graded exercise programme and nothing else.
I’m already fairly active and have lost 2 stone in weight (1 more to go).following a modified diet. I try not to stress about the pain and try hard to keep things normal but sometimes it’s really hard. My son suggested cannabis.
Has anyone got any ideas/suggestions for me please
I've done cannabis for my pain in my head it does work with amounts of CBD and alittle THC but it made me really tired.
