Back in August, I noticed a tightness in my right glute (butt cheek for all you kechuas), but didn't think too much of it.
In late September/early October, the uncomfortable sensation transformed into a lot of pain, starting from my glute down my whole leg, and into my feet. I've felt everything from numbness to sharp pain in and around those areas since then.
Now for the past 3 months or so, my lower back has felt really ****ty as well. I had already assumed several months ago that there was a herniated disc/sciatica, and an MRI proved that. I've been through Physical Therapy, and I've seen a few specialists/doctors. The pain is still there.
I haven't been able to run/workout like I've always done, and I try to avoid sitting whenever possible (I do not sit to eat meals).
I wanted to apply for a MMJ patient card so that I wouldn't have to take codeine and the like.
Today, I was approved, and I'm going in Monday to get my photo taken.
tl;dr I've had sciatica/herniated disc pain for 5+ months, and I've had to stop running and lifting moderate/heavy weight completely. Applied to the MMJ program to see if it may be beneficial as a pain reliever.
Maybe I will be able to do certain stretches/exercises that I couldn't before.
Also, being able to legally purchase **** is also a plus. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a card partly for that reason, and the fact that I very much enjoy the feeling as opposed to other drugs/substances.
Here's to better days

I hope....
