Snowwhite100's Journal, 30 April 2021

Oh, I've got big problems. Going to the spine center yesterday was quite an ordeal. I'm sorry to say when I get up I am screaming in pain at the shooting pains/spasms. The doctor said I have Lumbar Strain and it should probably start getting better in 10 days or so. It was even worse getting up to go to the restroom in the evening. It was excruciating, and I wanted to die. When my husband helped me upstairs for the night I got up very very slow but was still crying out.

It is now 9:30 pm and I haven't gotten up out of bed since coming upstairs last night or all day today. I am able to use my camping female urinal off the side of the bed. "Once a camper, always a camper." I have no idea what my future holds. All I know is it is excruciating to get up, and I can't handle it. My husband went to the local Cannabis store about a mile from here to buy me some topical CBD/THC oil. I don't know yet how much it might help. I couldn't possibly go to a Chiropractor at this time. I want to die just to go to the restroom.

I had a Mango and a huge piece of pizza today so I guess I haven't started to starve. I covet your prayers.

Oh, poor Snowwhite!!!☹️ I always thank the Lord when I don’t have back pain, it is like being paralyzed! I hope the cannabis oil helps. My girlfriend who has terrible knee pain says the strongest lotion is at that store itself and helps the her deal with her pain. I send you blessings and I think it takes days to get better, you will, it’s just getting there. Hopefully, you’re feeling better.🌺

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Two things helped with my back. First is Flexeril, which is the only thing that for me stops the clenching in the lower back. Shit's like magic. Most docs don't prescribe it because it is out of patent, but IME it is 100X better than any of the new shit. Second is topical. I use a combo of DMSO and Aspercream both roll on (Amazon). I roll on the DMSO first and then the Aspercream. Burns like hell, then itches, and makes you stink, but it definitely helps with the pain without narcotics...

Jimmie my friend told me about a topical pain reliever that she said worked wonders and she has been in pain for years. Have to find out the name. Yet, it burned so bad when she put it on she couldn’t hardly bare it. She found out if she put a little lemon juice on the area it helps with the burning sensation. Sorry you guys have to endure such pain.☹️

Yes, the CBD/THC should work great. I have so many different products from the dispensary, all high THC... I have arthritis on my spine and that pain is very excruciating. I put the THC lotion on before I go to kickboxing but... I can now do kickboxing because of the products. Good luck

Did you get meds to help reduce the pain? Maybe you need an edible too 😉 How about a heating pad? How is your bed? When I had back pain we bought a new mattress and that helped 😊

sorry you're in agony 😭 I truly hope the CBD helps tonight and you start feeling better 🙂

All of the above except that you need to move. The longer you don’t, the harder it will be.

What Lambie said. Edible or oil or flowers for pain and movement! Self care for the pain like massaging and epsom salt baths

My heart goes out to you!! I have a catastrophic back injury and understand how agonizing back pain can be! I pray they can find you some relief!

I hope you are getting some relief with the CBD cream. I take Soma for muscle spasms and it really helps.

Hi Snow, sorry to hear of this health challenge and praying for your healing and moreover that the Lord would make you whole in every area of your life (Luke 17:19 KJV).🙏🏽💕

I will be prayerful for you! I felt the pain just reading your post. For me, ice and heat works wonders. Keep us posted.🙏🏽

Praying. Have you seen a doctor? Mri? I suggest you do if possible.

Thank you all for your compassion, support, and prayers. Yes the CBD/THC product helped. Yes, I have and am using a heating pad. I will write a journal today to explain how I am getting better. @wifey9707, regarding your question and suggestion that I see a doctor and get an MRI. Thank you, in my journal I mentioned the spine center but didn't clarify that this was the UCLA Spine Center that I referred to in the previous journal. I also mentioned the diagnosis the doctor gave (a generalization) and his idea about me starting to get better. I will refer to an MRI in my journal today. Thanks to all again!
