Updating the above post, I went to a medical marijuana clinic here and the manager said forget about using CBD or marijuana if you continue to use hydrocodone (which I do 4T daily}. I went to my physical therapist yesterday, and she inserted electronic sensor patches in my buttocks near the rectal area. She feels I don't have PNE but rather a stretching of the Levator Ani flaps which cause them to be too stiff and cause pain. This is also referred to as Chronic Anorectal Pain. She is suggesting a number of relaxation techniques along with goig back to the Tenns unit patches in that area. I will update the group on any (hoped for) progress.
