I've done something to my lower back today that makes it excruciatingly painful to walk, sit down, bend over, or move in a certain way. I think I've pinched a nerve. I know that Marijuana would help relax my muscles and allow me to work through it and I have the number of a guy that would get me some for 25 and I have the money...problem is, I have 1 month 16 days clean from it and I don't want to start again.

I have little money and no insurance in this country. I have taken the recommended dosage of ibuprofen...and I may have my BF go to the Chemist for some muscle relaxants...but I don't know if that will keep me from picking up the phone.

Please...words of wisdom...any MA people in here?...something?, someone?....

Please don't interrupt your hard-earned clean streak! Think about how good it feels to say you've been clean for 1 month 16 days. Take more ibuprofen, or get the muscle relaxant, but don't fall back on your drug of choice! If you can't afford a chiropractor, maybe you could look online to find out what a chiropractor would do for you and see if your boyfriend will do it for you. Maybe sleeping it off would help. This is a day when resistance is called for. Just for today, you can say no!

Just act as if that is not an option. I have terrible migraines that MJ was helping (thought not all the way). I just told myself, that's not an option anymore. I can work on other remedies and it will pass anyway.

Well... I didn't call for the bag, but instead, got some good over the counter medications, which I am taking the recommended dosage of and with that, ibuprofen and a nice hot bath, I feel pretty good. Still hurts, but not near as much.

Catwings, thanks for the suggestion to think of it as not an option. I am a firm believer in mind over matter...I had just forgotten due to the pain.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE!!!
