Re: Chronic Pain

I've been in numerous motorcycle accidents, which have left me with a permanently disfigured left ring finger, permanent traumatic arthritis in my right foot/ankle and, currently, chronic pain/arthritis in my left knee and hip joints due to a badly broken femur. At this moment I'm walking with a cane, I can't ascend or descend stairs or ladders without it (and even then it hurts like hell). I can't stand very long because I favor the left leg, putting all of my weight on the right, which was smashed between the side of my bike and the front of a pickup truck a few years ago. My left ring finger, in addition to looking all kinds of f'd up, constantly hurts, more so in cold weather (like now), and hurts a lot more if/when I stub it on things (last joint curves off toward my pinky, about 45* from where it should be).

When I don't have any cannabis, I'm in pain, I can't really do much of anything, I don't feel like getting up to do anything because I'm so damned sore all over. When I have my bud, I get things done because I'm not just sitting here wondering if it's worth it to get up and walk to the kitchen for something to eat, or to take out the garbage etc...

I have my Dr. appt tomorrow
