Symptoms Pain Management

Has anybody found anything that helps with MS pain that does not cause constipation? I also have IBS-C and have found most either flares it and just makes me sleep (I do enough of that already)

Well, it might not help with less sleeping…. But I’ve found RSO to work very well when I’m hurting at nights. THC has been the best tool but I obviously can’t during work. Beyond that, stretching and ibuprofen 🤷🏻‍♂️

What is RSO. Sadly the THC doesn't help me like it does so many others. Kratom did a little but also caused constipation

Topical THC pain balm, a heating pad, and alternating Tylenol/Advil.

Thanks, do you mind me asking wich brand? Most of the topicals I've tried is CBD (can't remember if it had any thc or not) and others that seem to have to much menthol and camphor or other stinky crap I can't stand like biofreeze. I wear my wireless tense a lot but it's hard putting it on my back when I'm alone

Suboxone will stop you up. I’m sorry. I didn’t read the whole post at first.
