Suggest Treatment For Chronic Back Pain

I was referred to smoking medical marijuana for my chronic back pain but something bad happens when I smoke it. I am curious if it is some kind of allergy or something. Once I take a big hit my whole body feels cold under the skin and it feels like something is flowing thru my body. Then my mouth and eyes start to hurt.. my eyes burn and my mouth feels like the nerves become very sensitive to the touch. My tongue touching my teeth or gums is VERY VERY uncomfortable. My vision also becomes white and fuzzy. I can be around it when other people are smoking no problem... actually the contact high is awesome lol. Also I can get it on my skin without any reaction. There were 2 times I smoked and nothing bad happened and it really did work EXCELLENT for my back and my stress.

What could be wrong?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes you are wrong according to me.
2.It may give long term addiction and many other medical and mental health complications so it is not at all the solution.
3.Back pain can be treated well if we can find the cause.
4.Get a X-ray lumbar spine AP/LAT and MRI since you are suffering for quite a while, probably chronic causes.
5.Sone time simple back pain exercises are enough to get rid of the pain.
6.I recommend, do not implement smoking technique for the back pain treatment.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
