chronic back pain relief without couchlock?

[hicogen]

Hi there, im wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what strains would be good for chronic back pain, specifically from degenerative disk disease and sciatica. A strain that wasnt a big couch locker would be preferred.

A friend is looking for something to 'loosen' him up a bit so he can pursue a more active lifestyle.

thanks!

Yoga and Kandahar.I have sort of the same problem in the winters.A good Kush helps as well.But it's the yoga that will help the best.....

The Jack's Cleaner seems to be doing the trick pretty well for me.

C-Ray is the master of disaster on the strains and med strain base.He's getting together a program so you just have to input your symptoms and get out strains that will work for those....

it will take us some time but should be a repository of helpfull info for all you med patients/growers.

Hi Cannarchrist,

Now...that is simply a killer idea my friend. I'm totally shocked no one has come up with a program for it yet??? Imput your symptoms, and get a list of appropriate strains for said syptoms, how kool is that! :)
Get on that one c-ray, that will be one hellava tool to have available to us med folks @ C-W. ;)

Hey hico,
I like Dmans Orange Spice it works for my Scoliosis.
Also JCB (Jack's Cleaner Blueberry) and Shorts/Blueberry.
Peace,

I have a really bad back . extra parts , scoliosis , herniations as big as 7 mill years ago with degenerative disk disease and other arthtritises and butting from sitting down for years now. Well i lay at the computor now . lol. sorry . .6 bad levels in my neck from semi hitting me too , surgery on 3 levels. Have herniations there too still . Afghani trainwreck is the best muscle relaxer ive ever used and a great spirit and body uplifter and study helper . . Big pharma has nothing to match it for me ! I mix it with original 70s u.w. and eat it . I use the u.w. in there for more pain control and it just a little in the mix takes out the heavy breathing from the trainwrecks effects .Very up ! i mix 3.0 parts to .5 parts . Or to hard to get out of bed in the morning . Best i could do for myself after trying many a strain . Good luck , your mileage may vary ........To be honest I really cant get rid of all pain . Not even with morphin which is useless for me .. But i can make myself way more comfortable with less nerve shocks if you know what i mean . I been out for a good while but ive heard some praise grape rom for pain in the past two . The way i loosened myself up the best is using colloidal silver in the mix . my triple treat ! I even regained movement in feet and wrist .They wouldnt bend backwards . Now full motion without any therapy which i had several times only making me worse . Its amazing how it helped my head pain . I dont have it now but rarely if i go beyond my limits . . Tightness is fleeting too . woot !Get rid of the inflamation and alot of the pain goes away . it may hurt while walking maybe but now sitting down resting "no " mostly. . Only hurt to move basically now .. But ya cant eat arthritis and take big pharma drugs that promote disease and pain . Or strokes or what ever and hope to fix it . lol. I was medically retired in 97 for pain . And im feeling better everyday .
I just realizwed how old this thread is . woops ................

You sound kinda like me i had 3 herniatted discs about 5 years ago .9 ,7 .5,{lower back} the inflamation in my lower back never goes away and just to run your finger over my skin feels like a big bruse that got punch again, not a nice feeling lots of jumping around from massive shocks feels like you put your finger in a socket lol.Pain never leaves my body, stiffness is one of my biggest troubles i cant move in the morning without cannabis and dillaudid, i can hardly roll over to pee in the morning,it is the only thing that gets me to a point where i want to join the rest of humanity .after about a block of walking my legs get worse they start locking up {big muscles fucking hurts}and not moving with the rest of my body. use a cane try not to use it as much as i can.
personally i dont get so much pan relief from cannabis but i do find sativas take my mind to another place like turning a mask on your head or somthing the paiin is still there but it is not the focus like most of the time. keep positive stay away from as many docotor pills as you can, i dropped all of the other crap they had me on, they told me i shouldnt but i feel better then with all that dope in me i like to be alive awake, feel etc. whats original U.W .. welcome...

i wish better for you Vapor !!!
i have msa and snap out muscles upon to much use . And two much was walking a couple houses . lol. or strumming . Im gaining speed and streangth at this time vapor . I had to change my whole way of life so not to rest in pain . Get rid on the inflammation and pain goes down alot when sitting and moving . I make my own water , use a csa organic farm for my food because the store food made my ill .I take 5000iu daily vit. D And many other supplements daily . And i stay away form GMO food bigtime ! Cant eat arthritis and hope it gets better . I have a few kinds and it doesnt bother me anywhere now . Except back and hips .walking . I have cipro damage also pretty good . Hips with Throat treatching . . fun stuff. Loosing aility to swallow but getting better now. no more streatching . woot . Im medically retired . i had 3 open l&I claims and should have been five but i said enoughs , enough ! 5 days a week multipul therapy . man it was horrible. Nice way to bring the pain !!! so i cercuit trained on my own for a couple years trying too .6 days a week in the 90's .. Im just reversing full blown multipul system atrophy from acute phenol poisening when i was young . I have global neropathies messing up reducing feeling and motor skills since 85 .Cant flex my calf or bicep on left side since that time but recently have felt a pull for the first time in decades and sweat where i couldnt before . you can shocke my feet and i dont move at all so the drs treat me like their own personal shooting range just machine gunning thier torture machine till it starts burning my skin . Paliative care kills me and big pharama has nothing for me but pain a suffering and a massivly shortened life span . The patcheswill kill me fast ! i was basically abannedoned by allopathic medicen because they could only make me worse . I found out to reverse my autonomic neuropathies by myself and make myself more comfortable than should be allowed by sick people . lol.Hep C , noi prob . lol. Even all messed up i feel great lol. although i pee blood for years from acute infection and stones im taking care of now. On big pharma i treat everyone like my whipping pole because pain ruled my day . You could call me "itchy" then . lol. Actually , its not to funny ....
I dont own my pain ,i meary rent it !

im going deep now man . I have some angstrom magnesium im tryng right now . Just been a couple days though .

keep positive and keep moving when i first got hurt i was having my partner bless her heart do alot of my grow work, well some time past and i was not happy with the results without me being in there, so it got me moving more, today i dont need help unless i am transplanting or moving plants around i try and do everything else myself which hurts like hell, but my movement has been improving the pain hasnt got better it is actually worse with all the moving, but i dont want to live laying on a couch or the floor no thanks, I am also glad my grandfather kicked my ass on a fishing boat growing up it gave me stubborn work ethic, without i would be fuckt. g13 eh/////

[memyselfandi]

i have serious back injuries.

I use acupuncture (when i have a serious crisis and i am immobilized they use electric stimulation ) and traditional Chinese medicine. I really can't recomend it enought if you haven't try it give it a go it help me get my life back.

On my grow the only time i have to use strength is to clean the hydroton , my wife rises the buckets and put them in a cleaning tray ( a meshed table ) after cleaning she puts the buckets back to place.

i use heavy sativas to knock me out so i can rest, traditional pain killers don't work on me or the cortisone ointment so doctors give heavy doses of muscular relaxants that make zombie.

God bless my wife that do all the work including help me in the restroom when i have a crisis, i become a baby
