    I don't know what to do. so I have about 2 grams of smoke at the most left. I want to take a break from smoking I smoked friday. but my back is hurting me right now and I don't want to have full spasms starting now. I want to see if smoking helps. should I smoke or stick with the break? I loaded icey hot on my back

    I say see if the smoke helps with your back, plus it will make it easier to take the break if you don't have that smoke around looking for a reason to be smoked.

    So then see if the icy hot works and if it does then stick with the break, I don't know how much of a break you want to take, but your on your fourth day, so you've got a good start.

    the icy hot use to work really good, not so much anymore. I took Advil. I can feel my back tightening up. and if I move a certain way. it will turn into a spasm

    I would definitely smoke, it can only help relax your back if not it cant do any harm ..

    Here is my advice:

    Do not take a break if you still have weed. Smoke all you have left now, then take a break. What good would a 2 week break really do? I would say if you were going to take a break go at least a month without smoking. That way your lungs are cleaned out (provided you don't smoke cigs) and your tolerance goes back down to nothing. That way when you do get high you will get really fucking high. Good luck and I hope your back pain goes away!!!! :)

    I say smoke what you have left, then start your break. But in the meantime, take it easy and avoid activities that will aggravate the pain if you can. Take long hot showers and let the hot water run on your back, get someone to give you a massage, etc...

    I hear ya though, I have constant lower back pain and smoking is one of only maybe 3 things that help relieve my pain just a little. I just started going to the doctor and found out I have severe scoliosis and the beginnings of bone degeneration in my neck and pelvis, also one of my lower vertebrae is crushing a nerve near my pelvis which contributes a lot of the lower back pain. I think in your case if you're having spasms, smoking should help calm them. I'm all in favor of breaks every now and then, but sometimes it's just necessary to medicate yourself :)

    I know what a drag back pain is, I hope you feel better real soon!

    I did take a hot bath before. I had scoliosis as a kid and had 2 operations. I was told latter in life I would have back pain. so their isn't anything anyone can do about it. take advil. go to physical therapy and I did that. I decied I'm going to smoke and see how that goes. Thanks for the replys everyone :)

    Yikes, surgery :( that sucks that you had the operations but are still doomed to a life of back pain. This is probably a silly question, but have you been to a chiropractor? I just started going to one and he took x-rays and different scans up and down my back, and although my spine is curved like 2 S's on top of each other, he said that with regular adjustments to my neck and pelvis and a few small lifestyle changes, the middle should straighten itself out eventually and halt and hopefully reverse the bone degeneration. Maybe you could get a second opinion? No one deserves to suffer with back pain for the rest of their life, it truly is degrading to your quality of life :(

    Well anyway, glad to hear you're feeling a little better for the moment (knock on wood), gotta take it as you can get it!

    Ahh, I see... my dad has the same thing. Well hopefully in years to come they will discover a better solution to your type of pain, and all chronic back pain. Until then... :sifone:
