Is smoking weed bad for degerative disk disease?

I'm also part of the buggered back society, degenerative disk disease & currently a lovely 7mm bulging disk that's pinching the sciatic nerve. My doc actively promoted pot over opiates or nerve pain meds, physio as well strongly suggested it & enthusiastically supports it for pain management.

These guys kept me moving for an extra few months. ENJOY.

Thanks for the link, I'll have to check out more of their videos. I'm a firm believer in exercising to deal with back issues. Got the good news today from physio she doesn't think I'll need surgery & will be pushing that when I see the surgeon in a couple months.

Not sure but I smoke have 4 herniated dics, smoking never really has helped me. Eating raw leaves and buds though, that is a freaking miracle!!

There is an immediate release of glucose, as well as an increase in heart rate, breathing activity, and blood pressure. Nicotine also makes the pancreas produce less insulin, causing a slight increase in blood sugar or glucose. Nicotine makes your breathing become rapid and shallow, your heart rate increase, and your blood pressure rise. I would suggest that you should consult a good doctor and besides that tryout health insurance policies like Aetna Medigap which is a good health option offered by The Health Exchange Agency.
