well, I have been a daily pot smoker for decades. I have been in chronic pain for decades. every time I exercise , even lightly, all my small injuries feel like they have been amplified.  It has kept me indoors mostly and my quality of life has been very low.

Every time I walk or lightly exercise it feels like somebody hit me in the side with a baseball bat, I feel severe groin pain  and my lower back kills and I feel excruciating pain down my leg. any small injury I have had in my life seems to be amplified 5 or 10 times. 

Things have gotten worse lately and I went to hospital and found out I have a 1 cm kidney stone stuck in my left uterer right at my bladder junction.  well, I was happy and sad, mostly happy thinking the kidney stone is the source of my pain.  2 procedures and 3 weeks later my urological system has healed but the chronic pain is still there.

I decide stop smoking pot 10 days ago to see what happens and you know what, the pain has lessened a great deal. It has not subsided and it is still a bit annoying, but I feel I am healing a little bit every day.   I am starting to exercise lightly with kettle bells and walking miles a day, in the past this would have landed me in the hospital.

I pray to god the healing continues and I can get back to an active life style. I see myself performing music and going to the gym and I need a little more relief to do so.  I am not crazy and I feel pot has caused widespread inflammation throughout my body, causing debilitating pain. 

thanks for reading and any questions or comments are welcome here or off list.

​Thank You and better health to all of you
