Since I last did a post on my hip, see Here I was in a huge negative headspace, and bodily frustrated. My mood and energy has flipped 180, thanks to Sapphire Medical. I’ve been testing medical cannabis oil, both CBD oil and THC oil for pain. Boy has it improved my life.

Thanks to trying it out, having to experiment with dose timings and size of both oils, I found a happy medium by 7 days on the oil, so we went Walking, and I did remove the insoles too. So being open minded I have to say it could be also from removing these?! But I had a walk where the back pain and hip flexor did NOT consume me, and wear me down. I wasn’t 100% painfree but I was improved, and feeling lighter in myself, like I walked straighter.

The ground is uneven, some ascent and descent, slippy areas and it feels better. My hip flexor does tire and swell, but that grinding in the back is less than before.

I’m still using a walking stick/pole, so not quite there for 100% stick free, muscles clearly need building up without the back twisting. I’m hoping as I use THC oil is more used this gets easier and I’m truly on the path to recovery.

Need to do a test where I wear the insoles and take the oil and see if the insoles were a massive change? It’s weird as standing in the insoles the back feels better, but maybe walking in them creates too much downward pressure?
