Thanks, Racoon8. I am surrounded by weed smokers and have found that it has an effect on the pain but also keeps me sitting in my chair, and that is bad. I need to move more, not less. That's why oxycodone was so good. I take a tiny dose and can start moving, then just continue on. But now I have reached the tolerance level and need to take more than the minimal dose for the same analgesic effect. And I am not going down that road. Thank goodness, there has been some development of synthetic drugs that work similarly on the whole "war on chronic pain" I'll give anything a try. And, as always, there is music.
