I had a herniated disc (L4/L5) operated on some 7 years ago... The Neurosurgen is about the best in the south. 6 weeks after the surgery, I was bacdk to work full on with no restrictions. :thumbsupI am a heating and A/C contractor). I had not had any pain or problems until a couple of weeks ago when I did something I shouldn't have.
I went to my local chiropractor, and after the first adjustment, I was pain free, but felt a little "bruised", and after the second adjustment, I have been totally pain free. At night, I will take a couple of hits of Toxic Blue....this was specifically bred to be a pain relief strain, and works very well. In any case it turns out that my injury is the result of a combination of 30 year old injuries, and degenerative disc disease. The chiropractor has me on a 3 month program that is supposed to reverse the disc problem, as well as get me completely healed. I really hate to go to my GP, because all he seems to know is to prescribe more pills that just don't *DO* anything other than knock me on my a$$ and make me so I can't function.

Most strains that are really heavy on indica, when properly grown and harvest at the right time will work well for body pain relief.
