What Is The Treatment For Chronic Back And Neck Pain?
I have a combo pacemaker/defibrillator and was forced to discontinue use of Celebrex for chronic back and neck pain. I went to a nutritionist and he recommended medical marijuana tea to drink. Is this safer than smoking it? I also have a paralyzed left diaphragm and feel I can breathe more comfortably when I use the indica tea. Thanks for you reply.

Hi,
Marijuana is not good for health whether in smoked or powdered form. You can take analgesics like Tramdol or Acetaminophen for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult a physician or a neurologist and get evaluated. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussai
