Fellow Broken down cop here and also a STRONG advocate for Cannabis.
Cannabis has kept My opiate dosage the same for 14 years. My injuries can't be operated on YET, so until then I do what I have to do. Exercise; Meditation; Yoga and make sure You stay hydrated. I use a Coconut/CBD oil and slather it on every day. Head, eyes, mouth, ears, nose, arms anywhere that may be exposed to Sol.
I do SunGazing the last hour of daylight to help with the Pineal Gland...
There is a strain for every pain.
* See * Endo-Cannabinoid System This will explain the reason(s) CBD oil works. As noted it is also great for dogs.

Awesome!
Curious about your diagnosis of what causes your waist down pain. Is it the stenosis? Does sudden cold water on your skin cause pain?
CBD Dosages
Mayo Clinic suggests CBD dosages on scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion. Cannabinoid dosages and duration of treatment depend largely on the disease.
How Much CBD Oil Should I Take?
~To increase appetite in cancer patients: 2.5 milligrams of THC by mouth with or without 1 mg of CBD for six weeks
~To treat chronic pain: 2.5-20 mg CBD by mouth for an average of 25 days.
~To treat epilepsy: 200-300 mg of CBD by mouth daily.
~To treat movement problems associated with Huntington's disease: 10 mg per kilogram of CBD by mouth daily for six weeks.
~To treat sleep disorders: 40-160 mg CBD by mouth.
~To treat multiple sclerosis symptoms: Cannabis plant extracts containing 2.5-120 milligrams of a THC-CBD combination by mouth daily for 2-15 weeks. A mouth spray might contain 2.7 milligrams of THC and 2.5 milligrams of CBD at doses of 2.5-120 milligram for up to eight weeks. Patients typically use eight sprays within any three hours, with a maximum of 48 sprays in any 24-hour period.
~To treat schizophrenia: 40-1,280 mg CBD by mouth daily.
~To treat glaucoma: a single CBD dose of 20-40 mg under the tongue. Doses greater than 40 mg may actually increase eye pressure.
According to CannLabs, the nation’s top full-service testing lab for cannabis products, there is no established lethal CBD dose. Consumers should read product inserts carefully to ensure they are taking the right amount of CBD, and talk to the prescribing physician about any questions or concerns.

They can't tell me what's up with my lower back, disc tears, arthritis, neuro....every doctor says something different. The only doctor able to at least given some relief was a pain management doctor. He did the radio frequency Ablations and it helped, but after the third time, the nerves grow back with a vengance. First time lasted about 8 months, second about 6, third about 4... I carried the M-60 for years, doorkicking, jumps, and combat has taken it's toll. The VA didn't want to touch the Burn Pits issue or the Gulf War syndrome, even though it's been proven the experimental Anthrax they gave me, when I kicked the Iraq War off, causes all of the symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome. Whatever I'm at 100% rating so really can't complain.
