You have a right to be high as a kite if you want as far as I’m concerned. And if they’re not managing your pain properly be sure to not take any BS answers.
Sorry if that’s a moot point. But comfort and quality of life go hand in hand. I had to learn that when I lost my best friend

Not to personal at all. Hopefully if anybody has to deal with something like this I can provide a little bit of wisdom and motivation for their "journey".
Pain meds were a bitch to get. My doc gave me everything under the sun that wasn't a narcotic. Once we finally got all the results I finally just told her to keep me comfortable and she gave me a script. Still a pain in the ass because I have to do drug test to make sure I'm not over taking.
I've never been a pot smoker but to be honest I've started and it has helped tremendously. It's helped with the pain and keeps me comfortable. One of my biggest issues is appetite and weight loss. Although I still have a hard time keeping food down I have a hell of an appetite now
