Smoking weed and traveling the globe for pain relief [split]

@RTrac1

my chiropractor is all about non surgical remedies for my back.

He’s in Rotterdam

… New York, USA

Do you read? Apparently not.

@Ilya

I’ve been to numerous “back specialists” here…have done physical therapy (months of it), spinal decompression (30 sessions at $100 a pop - which was a HUGE discount from the normal $200 rate), 2 months of bi-daily massages, etc. etc. and all anyone ever tells me is ‘surgery, surgery, surgery’. I’m f’in 25. I’m not going to opt for surgery which isn’t even guaranteed to fix my issue. I’ve read all the research and talked to numerous people who have fused backs, etc. It’s not a solution.

$950 airplane ticket to Europe and their practices > thousands upon thousands of dollars spent already and in the future (not to mention the cost of the surgery which some insurances don’t cover). What’s the worst that happens? Oh right. I see my family which I haven’t seen since 2008.

You people are ridiculous sometimes :lol
