on the bright side I am physically starting to feel fitter and seem to be walking and balancing a bit better every day. I did my own rehab at home yesterday got up to 30 minutes on the aeroydne bike and all my other pt home work. my foot was kinda hurting after that.
I use to go through a wealth of weed, but lately, I've been packing smaller and smaller bowls, using a tiny bong. A couple years ago I was going through about a half o' a week, but now I can make 2 g's last about 6 days. My tolerance goes up as I cut down. Still smoke the occasional blunt though. Wait, I'm getting totally off topic dude...
Hang in there brotha! Positive vibes your way. I know the opiate battle well. Like brandon said ween yourself off slowly. Im glad I only had to go through that once. Hit me up if gets deep.
If you choose to use MMJ, you should look for high CBD and CBN edibles. Thats the best way to intake the beneficial qualities into your system. Smoking is bad for your lungs because of the tars. And no...im not saying it will kill you, but the carcinogens are abrasive to your lungs and your white blood cells that can be used to repair your knee are being used to repair lungs. There are options for highless CBD edibles in tinture form. Just an fyi :)
I have been through the nerve damage gig before as well as the pain killers.
1. Do your PT homework religiously, no more than necessary but CONSISTENTLY. Nerve damage can take a long time to heal so be patient.
2. Do the edibles as stated before, it will help with the pain and with weening off the pills more than smoking.
3. Stay as active as possible within your limits. Blood flow is everything for healing.
It sounds like your already doing all the right stuff. Hope you heal fast.
