The only thing id because I have no desire to be un prescription pain meds for the rest of my life is to just think about every move I make.It becomes a habit to just think about how I'm going to move when I have to twist or bend.If I limit my movements I find that I can be relatively pain free.The weed has never seemed to help me when I do injure my back.It usually takes hard prescrition drugs till for a week till I can move again.
