Does Marijuana take away all of your pain?

My neck is curved in the opposite direction normal. Its not straight, its actually slightly curved in the opposite direction that its supposed to be. My lower back also doesnt curve properly, although the rest of my spine is just fine.

My achilles tendons are too short, and I have to do regular exercises in order to stretch them so that eventually they wont be a problem anymore. They cause alot of problems with me and my walking, which causes shin splints during XC and Track, and water under my knee alot just in general.

My pelvic bone is the cause of all this, it sits higher on the left side then the right, and has thrown plenty of things out of line.

Everything together means that I am usually either in pain in my neck, lower back, headaches, or feeling the pain of severe shin splints if its running season.

Marijuana helps me remove about 80% of the pain. I still know there is pain there, but I dont really feel it persay, and I am ok and fine while I am high.

Granted, I started smoking as a recreational user, and found that it worked wonders for my pain, and kept with it for both reasons after that.

physically not always...but mentally its helps me to be an overall happier person and more excited about life...i was born club footed for those of you who know what that is...and i have severe pain in my feet on a regular basis, and doctors have all but guaranteed ill develop arthritis in both my feet as early as 30 years old so im pretty positive depending on the state in which ill live i can get a med card at that time. Because of all the pain medicines ive used the only thing thatll help me get through a whole soccer game without a little bit of pain is my good old friend maryjane...

You know, cannabis helps all this stuff, but, we don't ever see threads like, "Marijuana is really extending my cell-longetivity!!!"

We should. :stoned:

I have survived 2 bouts of cancer, 2 strokes, and a heart attack. Yes it has taken away all my pain when nothing else would. I also like the idea of using natural medicine and not manufactured medication that has other issues associated with it, and I'm a nurse.

yeah, I have terrible back pain which comes from a really bad car accident when I was a teeneager, the discs between my vertebrae are very thin now from the damage,sometimes it even hurts to walk or sit down for any period of time. Smoking weed helps out a ton,I hate using RX drugs because they dont really work for me,my body has a high tolerance to them. but after a few hits of the good ole green I usually feel pretty good pain wise and dont notice it at all,by the time the first bowl is gone there is no pain felt.

I broke 3 vertibrea a couple of years back, but didnt realise - i went to the docs and nothing was said to me about anything being broken. So, i carried on working as usual and the pain got worse and worse. I eventually got told i had broken them, but by the time i had it was already too late. Bloody joke that was.

Anyway, since then my backs abit jippy - it can be fine for weeks or even months and then out of the blue i'll be in agony, hardly able to move.

I find that weed blocks the pain, well, not so much gets rid of it, but i dont think about it and i can carry on as normal. Because it happens somewhat regular im used to it, and my pain threshold is sky high now.

Without weed though it really would be unbearable ALL the time - i wouldnt even be able to drive.

I remember one morning waking up and i couldnt get out of bed for half hour, tried to put some socks on and just couldnt.
