What might help one may not help another. I do know for myself it helps relax the muscles in my spine. I go to a pain specialist, I'm in the process of weening myself off of my hydrocodone with supervision. Once I am off of the medication, I will get a prescription for medical Marijuana. My doctor tells me the two don't mix. That's a shame because the Marijuana isn't covered by insurance but the hydrocodone is. I would like to have edibles 5 to 10 days per month with the rest of the days on hydrocodone.
