Alternatives for pain management

My son likes the capsules. He had an accident and has a terrible back. He also had brain cancer diagnosis. Turned out to not be cancer, but he still has the SCAR. The Capsules, I believe work faster. I have never tried them You can also get the oil in a bottle with a stopper. Drip a bit on your tongue.

Lioness. I DONT GET ANY IN TEXAS. And you will be shocked how it will help you. You know you have had enough when you take the portion recommended for you.

I find when I can be outside doing anything it reduces my anxiety unless I let myself get crabby because I can do so little (key words there our "let myself") it may be the pain, which is the easiest to work thru or the inability to breathe a little tougher to ignore lol on a good day I will be out as long as I can stand. I am so lucky !!!!! We live about 10 miles outside a town of only 10,000 but it still has 5 recreational lakes WITHIN the city limits! Our home is on a smaller lake which is mostly used by the people (10) living on it. It is close to heaven. Years ago I started expanding the flower gardens, still need one more for the youngest grandchild and as hard as it can be to maintain they bring me joy. My husband doesn't really care about the flower gardens but knowing how much they mean to me he has really helped out A LOT. He also expanded the veggies and grew a 200lb pumpkin last year. He has built a tree house that I still have not seen since he finished the enterior but I have seen pic and it rivals the ones you see on TV only a bit smaller. So far haven't been able to make the climb but I will soon. He is so proud of it he picked all the furniture and décor with only a tiny bit of help from me. except for plumbing it could be a guest room in the sky !!! LOL and he is trying to solve the plumbing (mostly for the female guests ) Speaking of being outside I need to run into town to pick up a few plants and get them in before it rains. Hope everyone as a great day !!!

I'm SO glad for you and the fact that you are able to "work thru the pain"!!! Unfortunately, my hobbies, including gardening, my 30 + house plants, chores like sweeping,mopping, that side to side motion, bending, stooping, lifting any size bag of trash, even picking up something causes my pain. Which feels like a concrete block sewn in to the middle of my back. But enough whining!!! I'm thrilled for you and that you have someone close who understands!!! Cudos for you. Your words, you, set an example that it can be done!! Thank you..for welcome g me into your group. I realizeI am not alone.

Artscape...excellent. vaping or oil drops on tongue. My son tried capsules and he did not like them. They have opportunities for non smoker. I am calling Gov office in Texas. I want an appt to sit down with him.

@lioness, @oregongirl Good for you for being willing to try this alternative form of relief from chronic pain and for acknowledging the need for a “guide”. Just FYI. I started with capsules. However, they were very expensive. I am now vaping with cartridges from different strains and THC/CBD mixtures or dosages. I also use tinctures in my tea and coffee or just under my tongue. This assures that when I am traveling or just out with friends, I am able to medicate when needed and can stay ahead of the pain. That is so important. Good luck, stick with it and you will be rewarded.
