define 'dope'. You mean weed? Cuz there is no evidence of any chemical addiction issues. Habitual/behavioral addiction sure, like anything else we get pleasure from. As for praying to take a dump....this is what made me question your definition of dope... opiates def have this affect so strong pharmaceutical pain killers will disrupt regularity so to speak a lot more than cannabis will.
Maybe that's what I need to do. Fight thru it lol.
Also, if you decide to get a cortizone injection, if they don't have you under a scope looking at the trigger point,, it is useless and can be very dangerous. Especially near the spine. I had 5 or 6 and none of them ever helped and only the last 1 was done correctly.
i mean scrip painkillers.
For those who don't know what the 3 letters mean: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/17411-radiofrequency-ablation Another option for sure.
I suffer with back pain as well and I understand what you mean. I do a lot of drilling at home and something that I do may help you last longer. For me I drill with one ball at a time, meaning I have to get up walk to where the balls are get one place it in it's spot and go back to the shot. I don't hurry this process. Drills are only great if you put great concentration into each shot. This very deliberate process saves my back and makes my practice more effective.
You shouldn't be leaning over (from the waist). I'm also tall and have shown many players to stand more like you want to try to lift the table from the ground. Sitting down into the stance, flexing into the knees like a wrestler or boxer, you straighten your lower back in the stance. Students who had back pain reported their back feels better than normal after hours of pool!
i edited it. weed doesn't clog u up.
I had a bunch of friends who kept telling me I should try pot for my pain. I did, can you imagine being in terrific pain and being high? It never helped , then they said I smoked the wrong kind, {why didn't they tell me there were two kinds}?
You are quite right that different types do different things. I found a high cbd strain called 'dead lights' that is great for me so I grow it myself (it's legal here so I can say that). But some of the superhero weed from dispensaries I've tried with friends has very much the same effect on me as you experienced... the back is still somewhat of an issue and even if it wasn't, it gets me so high I routinely forget who's solids or stripes even deep into racks, lack any etiquette at all, and find myself shooting more fun shots than winning shots. It's a fun night out to be fair, but it ain't pool.
Most back pain comes from weak stomach muscles. The muscles are not strong enough to hold the weight so it shifts the weight somewhere's else AKA your back.
Strength training is the best counter.
