I sure hope everyone’s day is better than what I’m going through, lol Had to finally get out of the bed by 4:30 couldn’t take moving while laying down anymore… even a bowl pack isn’t helping much (yet) but I’m hoping…

Sometimes, if I’m hurting really bad, I take 4 ibuprofen. At 250 mg each, that’s 800mg. That is prescription strength ibuprofen. I talked to my doctor. He said yes, go for it if I’m in bad shape. I have many times gotten relief with 4 ibuprofen and a couple nice bong rips. I highly suggest you try that. It won’t hurt you. Now you probably would not want to do that every day, but occasionally it is ok.
This is for real. I would not suggest it if I did not know for certain and had talked to the doc about it.
Oh good morning my friends.

That’s 1000mg big dosage… I don’t take anything, so that might be a bit much for me. I’ll call my doc and ask before I take that much. but thnx for the advice

He may not RECOMMEND it, but he should say it will be ok. I only knew, because my doc had prescribed ibuprofen. I got them and noticed the dosage and asked him about it. He said yeah, its the same thing. Altho, generic ibuprofen is like half the price per mg, as the prescription stuff. But yeah he said its the same if you take the four OTC vs the prescription stuff.

Hope it gives you some relief. It does for me. I have a bad back from working in the oilfield. Sometimes the pain gets damned serious. So four ibuprofen and a couple nice bong rips of some top shelf cannabis… Twenty minutes later, feeling pretty decent.

@BigMike55 and were you able to bend and move, do some work after taking them?

Yes. After about a half hour. Takes a bit to get into your system.

Here’s my OTC regimen when I’m in really bad shape (shoulder/neck pain, can leads to migraines if I ignore the pain too long 
)
2x 500mg Tylenol / acetaminophen
eat something small
then either 2x 200mg Ibuprofen or 2x 110mg Naproxen sodium (Always take with food, and NEVER mix NSAIDs!)
I try not to take these all together if I can help it. My doctor told me a few years ago that Tylenol and ibuprofen are actually super effective together but I still try to limit them (NSAIDs can cause digestive/intestinal issues if overused, Tylenol is obv hard on the liver if it is overused). The Tylenol is good for general pain relief, while the ibuprofen/naproxen are both excellent at reducing inflammation and easing tension in my muscles. Tylenol also gives me a slight “mood lift.”
In all honesty, I find a good strong dose of edibles to be nearly as effective as all of this. 20-30mg THC and/or 25-50mg CBD seems to do the trick 
@JohnnyPotseed I hope that you’re able to get some good rest even if it’s during the day. Our bodies recover so much more while we sleep.
Good luck to all of you! We’re in this together. Pain management ain’t easy. Life management ain’t easy. Hell, most things ain’t easy but a lot of them are still worth doing!

Edibles just don’t work for me. The vertigo really acts up with a body high. I use my rosin and buddage, smoking it helps to a degree. Just got 1&1/2 hrs, and feel better, even though still hurting.

I’ve been hitting pea sized balls of a rosin/hash/flower mix for two days. This morning was a good test. Until I took a couple of healthy hits, I couldn’t hardly get around.
It helps big time for me.

Yep, pretty much same here. except not mixed with hash. Flattened out ball (pea size too) laid on top of buddage packed in bowl. At first, this morning it took awhile but by lunch (second ball) it put me to sleep for a blissful 1.5 hrs, lol

I think the hash broken down and mashed into the resin and flower makes for a slower burn and less resin making it through the bed of flower in the bottom of the bowl.
My reasoning is that I have to clean the screen in the pipe more often when I use just resin and flower.
