Alothough my injury is far lower than yours, yes I can relate in certain respects! Before you go to your doc and get all juiced up on pain meds, try smoking a little herb first. I've found it helps ALOT when you body get's super tight! Bake into cookies or brownies though, it will produce more of a "body high" which helps the situation out far more than smoking it...I hope you feel better soon! :swordfight:

I've found weight-bearing through my legs with assistance, stretching, and marijuana inhalation therapy (:swordfight:) to help me in those regards.

Wow really baking it in browies is more effective? Wouldn't it require a good bit of weed to bake it?

for me it helps with both. the tightness I feel is best explained as a band of pressure..like there is a restricting snake wrapped around my mid-section. And then there is the burning sensation..the weed helps alot with that.

hope this helps
