@Cimminnie yes, already utilizing my medical cannabis card. It helps, but then i am out of it for a few hours because of how much it takes to help. Still, it is way better than having to deal with the pain of feeling every step i take.

@dolphinblues great advice.

@dolphinblues I am in aqua therapy and they do do some manual therapy at the end of our sessions, but it does hurt a lot. I know that alternatives may hurt a lot at first, but the outcome is worth it. I am going to be adding massages back into my treatment plan- it's always nice and relaxing when there isn't too much pressure.

@Freckles444 I'm so glad it helped you! It is really hard to get the same person. I had one guy that was amazing. He had gentle, flowing movements, and it honestly felt like he had an angels touch. The next time, the guys movements felt forced, jerky and rough. 😕 But, I am not so stiff and I feel so much better afterwards.

@Freckles444 i highly recommend aqua therapy if available. It has been so much easier on my body and less recovery time than when i do PT on land. That is great that the exercise worked!

@StoneCat is there a specific name for this kind of massage?

@MrsB3922 i take thc/cbd chewables currently as the smoke irritates my asthma. They're 40mg chewables, but really strong so i only take like 1/3 at a time because of how it lowers my O² too much if i take more. I have heard a lot about the delta 8, but the stores i use don't have it on hand last i checked.

@RAwarrior94 I’ve definitely 100% had symptoms go away completely with THC/CBD . After stopping taking it about two weeks in all my aches and pains start returning.
