Hi, I'm Debbie, a retired special ed teacher. I had back surgery in 2011 and still have chronic pain daily, even tho I'm on morphine, which is no longer helping. My pain dr refuses to speak to me about relief thru CBD or THC even tho I live in a legal state. Nothing helps and I need to know is it safe to try something like this because I also have diabetes adult onset , chronic kidney disease, hashimotos thyroid disease , and now there worried about me being extremely anemic, not iron related and my blood pressure is up. If anyone could let me know if they have a similiar situation I would like to connect please and thank you, to all who can help or have advice . Be safe and enjoy life, Debbie

Hey there Debbie @razzydeb58, welcome to Connect. Thanks for joining the conversation. I think you'll find a good amount of support and experience here.

I'm sorry about your chronic back pain after having surgery. All too often surgery leaves behind an upregulation of chronic symptoms via the central nervous system, and the end result is chronic pain management. You have a plethora of things to manage, unfortunately.

Why does your PM doctor say he/she won't discuss THC or CBD? Have you spoke to your general practioner about how either may affect your diseases?
