Back pain while playing

Try to play the game from an office chair and use a BARPA project free air bridge.

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}?
I tried again, there I was I am in terrific pain and high again, that was about 15 years ago.
I have friends who have smoked pot since the 1960s, they always say , it hasn't affected me at all, but whenever I talk to them, they have been looking for something, for a week. I misplace something once in a while , but I am not constantly on an Easter egg hunt for all the stuff I have lost the last month
No thanks. to the wizzzeeeeeed.

I'll admit I'm tall and overweight. When I play by myself lower back pain starts at about an hour. Drills even sooner since I'm constantly leaning over. Aside from losing weight which im workong on. Will a back brace help? I can play for a while if I'm playing with someone. It's the constant leaning over.

I only have back issues when practicing. You are constantly bent over the table. I found when practicing I have to take short breaks. Playing a match does not present a problem for me. I’m 77 and 6’3”. Not overweight. Probably age related as wel.

Stay away from the strong dope(scrip pk's like lortab/oxy) if at all possible. Addictive and after a few days you will be praying to take a dump.

Miralax fixes that issue. And for some people, the pain is just too bad to not take them.
Heck, I've got a pain pump installed, and take medicine.

For you. For me, it's the best thing by far. Specifically the 'dead lights' high cbd strain. Even when I share it with friends on the golf course I hear things like 'this is like wd40 for your joints'.

Also, cbd is lab proven to be 20x as effective as advil for inflamation. Not surprising cannabis was in 50% of medications before the whole 'reefer madness' smear campaign. Little known fact, but the AMA (American Medical Association) tried to have the ban reversed once they learned that this dangerous drug 'marijuana' was actually cannabis which, again, was in 50% of medications at the time. No dice. Big oil wins.

Like I said, no two back pains are the same. Anything muscle related, it helps a ton. I also have a bulging vertabrae that leads to nerve pain as well as muscle strains if I don't move just right. The weed doesn't fix the disc, no doubt. But it is great for pain, inflamation, and as a muscle relaxant. It is literally prescribed for all 3 of these and treating these will alleviate a lot of different back ailments.

Yes sir! Not just in pool, but in life in general.

I always tell myself, “Dagnabbit, I’m in my prime, get after it!”

Just grin and bear it and do your best. Outwork the guy next to ya’ and when you get home soak in some epsom salts.

Then when the mornin’ light comes streamin’ in, get up and do it again. Amen!

This story has a bad ending. Not getting proper medical care is foolish. Back pains may become asymptomatic, but the underlying conditions do not improve -- they are getting worse and worse. A good doctor and a good physical therapist have no substitutes.

Oh, for goodness sake. Physical therapist?!?

Rub some freakin’ dirt on it! Things don’t always need surgery. You’re getting older and just think you’ll feel it forever ‘cuz you don’t recover as quick as you used to when you were made of rubber.

Icy Hot, Blue Star, Ben Gay.

I have a bro in law who acts like that:

“Where were you yesterday?”

“I couldn’t work, I tried to fart and it got stuck sideways.”

“You’re a terrible liar.”

“Shut up stupid! I have granular vaginitis!”

if you have bulging disc(s) 99% of the time it requires some form of surgery/treatment. i used to smoke the killer ganja and i tried cdb/edibles. didn't do shit for me. made me sleep better was about it. i have patellar tendonitis and it didn't reduce the inflammation at all.

Never helped w pain for me either, no matter the strain. All I got was high and additional anxiety from the weed that I sure didn't need in addition to the pain!!

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.

Can't play worth a diddly damn while stoned.
 
Pot makes one stupid. It also allows one to ignore things that one shouldn't -- "manana". (BTW, pain is your body's way of alerting you to the fact that something is amiss and requires your attention.) It is the perfect elixir for one who has nothing and is not trying to get anything going -- ideal for sitting still or idling in place. Given a choice between nothing and pot, most folks will pick pot. Not because getting stoned alleviates pain, because it does not. Pot does, however, adjust one's attitude toward everything, and . . . What in the hell were we just talking about?
