I go to my physician, she refers me to specialist. 5 months later my referral finally comes through so I go to specialist. tells me to go to physio. well, I'm 3 months into weekly physio, which by the way is not covered by universal healthcare, and I'm not really seeing any improvement

mid, lower, and even lower

Anyway I went back to the specialist last week and voiced this shit and she basically just said "take some tylenol". I dunno man, I don't want to take tylenol every day. as if the alcohol wasn't bad enough

if you've ruptured a disc, there's not a lot you can do except try to keep pressure off the disc and wait for it to heal. and then even when it "heals", give it enough pressure and it'll just act up all over again.

take advil to reduce inflamation, and/or try robaxacet which is a muscle relaxant (which may also contain ibuprofen depending which kind you get so don't take it with a pain killer). robaxacet is surprisingly effective... like it feels like it could be addictive, making your muscles relax from head to toe.

Have you tried marijuana

More importantly CBD oil.

I haven't tried marijuana in a while but may give it a shot. Thing is I definitely wouldn't smoke it at home and edibles are for some reason banned in my city including oil caps so... I dunno

I don't know if I ruptured a disc or not. The doctors analysis seems to be it's just my muscles are strained because I'm tall and weak and I have scoliosis. That makes sense but I'm having difficulty understanding why it has come on so suddenly but I'm finding it impossible to escape. Just fucking Feeling really lost
