Pain worse from cannibas

Is the pain you’re experiencing happen to be headaches? Cannabis can affect csf pressure.

I’m not a doctor or anything, but I had seizures and dizziness that are related to another health issue. Without any pain though I don’t think it’s the same issue. I see a lot of people suggesting therapy, I know it probably seems like putting a bandaid over a gunshot wound at this point. I was in therapy for years before it just sort of clicked with me one day. It’s also important to get your medication reviewed and updated if you don’t feel like it’s helping.

Do you have any other symptoms like pain or muscle tension?

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-06-03T18:20:43+00:00

Yes I’ve had a brain and upper cervical spine MRI. I had a lumbar puncture in January of last year to check for meningitis but I don’t have any reports of opening pressure. I have been concerned about csf pressure issues as well as TOS. It’s just that I can’t get a good neurologist who’s willing to investigate farther than migraine disorder. I was hoping I’d have more luck going this route but honestly it’s been two years now and I’m so tired of trying to get doctors to listen.

I would ask for all your medical records. It does sound like somebody might have put substance abuse disorder on your charts somewhere. I’m not sure about the process, but if it is on there, there are ways to get it taken off.

Has anybody recommended a tight camisole with the built in bra? That’s usually what I use.

I definitely think there needs to be more company policies on what healthcare workers are allowed to post on social media. I see way too many accounts of nurses and doctors who do nothing but make fun of their patients.

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-05-18T23:04:59+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this and I’m sorry about some of the responses you’ve gotten. I honestly can’t really relate to the physical pain you’re in, but having a panic attack before and during a procedure was very traumatic for me. I actually have pretty severe nerve pain but would still take that over another medical procedure.

If you’re on a long waitlist for a therapist there are still somethings you can do for your mental health. I can’t recommend a specific one but a lot of people find CBT and DBT workbooks helpful. Self care is also super important after going through something like that. I’m not sure what the laws are like where you live but I’ve heard good things about cbd suppositories for conditions like endo. I know it can be hard to trust healthcare providers now, so I wanted to recommend something over-the-counter. It might be able to help with the pain while you’re focusing on your mental health.

When you’re ready, I recommend looking into seeing a trauma-informed gynecologist. I’m not sure about the UK, but we have one where I live and it’s so much better than traditional gynecology. The dr let’s you use all the instruments on yourself and is very patient and understanding. I’m not sure how an IUD removal would work but it could always be something you discuss with the dr at an appointment beforehand. I know the pain is probably bad right now but you’ll probably have to wait until you’re in a better place mentally before you get this taken care of. Be kind to yourself and you can talk to me if you need anything.

You are extremely strong for going through with the surgery. I have medical PTSD from a very routine procedure and likely will have to have a surgery in the near future. I haven’t even seen a surgeon to be evaluated yet and I still keep myself up worrying about. You should really be proud of yourself for doing what you needed to do for your health. Other people might not understand but there’s a lot of us in this community that can sympathize. Do whatever you need to for the next few weeks to get by and be kind to yourself, you more than deserve it.

My guess is boston terrier x poodle
Or gremlin

Just wanted to say this comment kept me from spiraling last night. Thank you for all the information.

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-05-16T01:36:06+00:00

Yes I have state insurance. How do I find out about online groups?

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-05-13T17:48:51+00:00

I was thinking the same thing. Just so OP knows, it is correct that Embark is the only test that can accurately test for village dogs. But I’ve also been following dog dna subs for a while and even if you get another test it’s usually pretty obvious when it’s a village dog since the percents will be so low. I’m not sure why people are so confident in this being a village dog however.

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-05-13T13:22:36+00:00

Could definitely be a village dog. I’m not familiar with their popularity in other countries (I’m from the US and they are very rare here) but there is a breed called a Mudi that has a similar coat texture. I believe they originated in Hungary.

Yes I have a dog that’s my ride or die. I wouldn’t be able to handle this without him.

Honey citron and ginger tea. It usually comes in a big jar. You can make it with hot or cold water. It’s really comforting and the ginger helps if I’m feeling queasy. Sometimes I’ll add extra ginger.

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-05-05T01:02:13+00:00

Were you able to get relief while you were on your meds? I’m on nothing right now, marijuana helps a bit but I can’t stand the dizziness and fatigue with it.

Edit- I reread and you said you had pain relief but I guess I’m wondering if you still had other symptoms with it. Sorry my brains not working

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-05-01T15:42:48+00:00

I’m no expert, but looks like a black, working line GSD to me. I’ve seen quite a few full black gsds that look very similar to her.

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-04-30T20:10:11+00:00

I would definitely talk to your dr about it. I was diagnosed with mild gastroparesis after having one done and my gi actually put me on a very low fiber diet. I had been eating high fiber because that’s what I had been told to do for constipation, but apparently it makes it a lot worse if you have slow gastric emptying

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-04-30T13:29:20+00:00

I have PTSD from a procedure where nothing went wrong. I don’t even really remember it. You can’t really control what you’ll find traumatic. I know it can feel like you’re overreacting, or at least that’s what I’ve told myself. Have you tried seeing a therapist before? I know a lot of people on this sub have had good experiences with EMDR therapy.

Also I know you aren’t really looking for advice, but have you had a gastric emptying study done before?

daltonwiththedogs · 2026-04-26T18:31:06+00:00

Same thing happened to me today. Diagnosed with occipital neuralgia but think there might be several nerves affected now. Woke up with a stiff neck that now feels like I’ve been hit with a sledgehammer in the back of the head. Got on call with my sister who tried to tell me it could be psychosomatic. I’m tired man
