I have chronic pain, and the chronic helps the pain more than any amount of Rx drug I have ever taken. Doctors think I'm a drug seeker because I tell them Rx pain meds do not take away my pain, yet I do not want anything to do with Rx pain meds.

For me, my everyday pain is very similar to that horrible "Don't touch me, even clothing hurts" as well as if something exerts moderate pressure on my skin, it feels like someone just slammed a knuckle sandwich into a sore bruise kind of pain- every day. If I took the prescribed pain meds, I'd simply become addicted to something that does not work, yet I am not addicted to cannabis, nor do I always smoke it; more often than not, I make brownies.

You're not alone, and I know how much it sucks to have pain every day...
Purple Banana Reviewed by Purple Banana on . Back pains and marijuana.. About six months ago or so, I was riding in a vehicle that was involved in an accident, and something happened and I now have random back pains. At first I tried taking OTC pain relievers, and nothing worked. I next tried a few prescription pain killers, (lortab, oxycontin, darvocet..and maybe a couple of others) and nothing really seems to do much except give me a weird un-likable feeling and nearly eliminates my appetite..Now Cannabis..it's another story. I've always enjoyed the feeling from Rating: 5
