:thumbsup:Print and keep re-reading Next Line is Mine's and Birdie's post's! You NEED the oxygen! All the studies in the world have been done. For Ortho and infection (among other things) it is not a choice but absolute necessity! :stoned:. What you choose to do now, could effect your future.

I hope your doc has explained that it can get into the bone and make it spongy. Sometimes, that is fixable! If it were me, I'd go edibles, as already suggested!

I can tell you, I do know, it makes all those tiny little muscles, tendons, nerve's and ligaments relax and make you feel so much better! You need some relief and you are on as powerful a med as you could be! Ortho Docs are not usually so generous with the meds, as yours is. The majority are very stingy with pain meds.

You should have resource's for the "Pain Clinic" Ask for a consultation!

It is nice to see your mind is working well enough to seek some educated advice. Hope you take it! After injury and hospitalization it is difficult to realize, this is a situation you have little control over. Except for what the Dr. tells you.

I think, if it were me and I could not get some cheap oxygen at home. I'd buy those new "instant oxygen' cans (the latest fad for a legal hi). Use the oxygen from it prior to and after any type of inhalation of mmj. But, that would be me. Knowing the value of oxygen, if I was not able to stop smoking while recovering.

You are right, I am not a fan of Vit V for ortho pain either, I think it is better for a toothache! Long term tylenol ingestion isn't good for you, but situational, take it! My experience the Vik made me hi, did not help the pain but it made me hi enough I did not care I still had it! I hope this doesn't break the rules, if so, hope someone edit's it!

I am not sure as to your explanation of what you were doing. I have not heard of that. The most I ever did was a 'Chinese Fire Drill' (as a teen-ager) stone sober! Until the cops stopped us!

Your pain will be with you awhile, coping can be an issue if you get down and depressed with it. Seek temporary psychological help. 2 weeks in a hospital without being paid, that could screw up your mind a bit!

Good luck to you, my heart goes out, with empathy! Please drop back by and let us know what you are doing and how well and fast your recovery is! pr Pleaz know prayers and thots of a fast and spedy recovery are going your way! pr:hippy:
