Spinal Fusion Surgery – Good or Bad Experiences?

My OP and OA are a pain. I’m using buprenorphine patch 20mcg as my main pain control. I have Percocet for breakthrough pain but I rarely use it. I instead micro dose 15mg THC and 15mg CBD 3x a day with tincture. I’m an old hippie so this is not new for me. Cold weather, rainy weather, snow, barometric pressure all give me back pain. My saving grace is my joints are fine and I walk daily and now with a cane. It’s no fun getting old when you hurt all the time.

@jenatsky
Does the THC & CBD give you significant pain relief? That's something I haven't tried yet but would be willing to if it was helpful.

My migraines used to coincide with weather changes but I never thought that my back pain may do that too.

I can 100% empathize with your statement about getting old and hurting all the time. Never thought it would be this bad.

Thanks for things to think about!
