I have been suffering from lower back pain for several years. My job consisted of heavy manual handling which has worsened my back pain. It took me an hour to get out of the bed every morning because of this agonizing pain. I was unable to dress properly. Even simple tasks like bending down and stretching seemed tedious for me.
I consulted a doctor and he prescribed me Diazepam tablets to relax the muscles. Also, I was asked to take painkillers and was sent to see a physiotherapist. He gave me exercises to do at home. But, all of them were not effective.
One of my friends asked me to try medical marijuana cannabis from Toronto as it was proven effective for him. He asked me to give it a try. Is this treatment effective? Will it have any side effects? Please give some genuine replies and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
