Abdominal Adhesion Treatment with Cannabis Oil
-
The formation of adhesions is a natural part of the body's healing process after surgery, much like how a scar forms. When a scar extends from one tissue to another, often across a space like the peritoneal cavity, it's called an adhesion. These usually occur post-surgery when two injured surfaces are near each other, leading to inflammation and fibrin deposits on the damaged tissues. The fibrin connects the two adjacent structures where tissue damage happened, functioning like glue to seal the injury and forming the adhesion. In body cavities, fibrinolytic enzymes can limit or even dissolve the initial adhesion. However, if the production of these enzymes is hindered due to injury, the adhesion persists. Tissue repair cells then penetrate the adhesion and lay down collagen and other substances to form a permanent fibrous adhesion. While some adhesions are harmless, others can cause organs to be displaced or twisted.
Intra-abdominal adhesions are usually caused by abdominal surgery and can lead to complications like abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction, sometimes even resulting in fatalities. Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common consequence of post-surgical adhesions, which can happen even decades after the initial surgery if a previously benign adhesion allows the small bowel to twist around itself and obstruct. Depending on the severity, a partial obstruction can be relieved with medical intervention, but many cases require surgery.
More than 90% of people develop adhesions after open abdominal surgery, and 55-100% of women form adhesions after pelvic surgery. These adhesions can complicate future surgeries due to obstructed visibility and access. A significant number of these patients are readmitted to the hospital due to adhesion-related complications, especially within the first year after the initial surgery. Some body organs and structures, like the omentum, are more prone to adhesion formation.
Regarding personal experiences with adhesions, one individual shares his difficult journey through multiple surgeries, including the challenges of dealing with the aftermath like limited mobility, intense pain, and the use of medicinal marijuana for relief. A respondent expresses sympathy and offers prayers for those suffering from such conditions.

I had an unexpected experience with cannabis recently. I took three RSO capsules around 4pm to ease some discomfort from a previous transplant operation.
All seemed well until dinner time, around 6pm. Suddenly, I felt an intense impact, as if I'd been hit by a soft sledgehammer. I was significantly intoxicated and had a strong urge to urinate.
Even so, I wasn't too worried, thinking I'd just taken a bit too much and it would soon pass. However, the effects kept intensifying, and I realised I'd seriously miscalculated my dosage. I felt an urgent need to urinate, but couldn't.
My vision narrowed, sounds became intensely loud, and I experienced hot and cold flashes, along with a feeling of my skin crawling. I still had the urge to urinate.
I then began to feel dizzy, to the point where I thought I might vomit. The room seemed to spin, and I felt as if I was about to be thrown off the earth. I was desperate to urinate.
I felt seriously unwell, my stomach hurt, and I was extremely uncomfortable. I had been in this state for about three hours. Despite my discomfort, I kept reminding myself not to call emergency services to report a cannabis overdose.
Finally, around 1am, I passed out from sheer exhaustion and didn't wake up until 6am. This was quite an intense experience, and I think it ranks at the top for times I've misjudged my dosage.
In response to this tale, someone else shared their current health troubles, including abdominal issues related to colon problems, recurring bacterial infections, and a viral infection. They were considering taking another capsule to alleviate the pain but were hesitant after hearing about the previous experience. Regardless, they decided to go ahead and risk being incapacitated for the rest of the day.

The medication usually provides enduring comfort, despite an initial 45-minute period of discomfort before it starts working. Smoking seems to reduce the discomfort by roughly 30%, serving as a temporary solution until the pills fully kick in.

BrassNwood shared that he experienced severe discomfort after moving 14 plants from a shed to an outdoor site. Despite being cautious to minimise movement, he still suffered from intense pain that required him to consume pain-relief capsules throughout the night. This left him feeling excessively exhausted the next morning. He had an ultrasound scan recently and is due to consult with a specialist for the results. He described the sensation as akin to being hit hard in the stomach. He expresses hope that the medical specialist will provide a solution to alleviate his suffering, which he finds extremely frustrating.

The text to paraphrase is as follows:
This page is a space to vent and express concerns when I have an incident. The hot water pipe to my bathroom sink ruptured during the night, thus the repair and cleaning has been a hassle. My body is in so much pain!
It seems like you've had a difficult time. It's unfortunate you had to endure this, but it's fantastic that you found some comfort in the oil. (Does your moniker indicate you're a creative type?) The natural herb has proven to be a lifesaver, helping people manage their pain, even reversing brain damage amongst other things.
It's appreciated that you share your knowledge on oil production and other beneficial information so generously. Wishing you peace.

After a 20-minute ultrasound examination around the former surgical area in the morning, I was in severe pain by early afternoon, enough to feel like biting my own stomach. This situation is unbearable! Despite taking three homemade pain capsules and a full dose of a strong painkiller, I'm still enduring the pain determinedly.
Update: By mid-afternoon, though under heavy medication, I'm still experiencing intense discomfort. The medication has just barely made the pain bearable and I'm moving around very cautiously.
-
It's unfortunate. I wish your treatment provides you with prolonged ease. Typically, it does. However, there's a tough 45-minute period of discomfort before it starts working. Luckily, smoking helps to slightly alleviate the pain by around 30%, so I continue to do so until the medication fully kicks in.

The text essentially likens managing a certain situation to cohabitating with a dormant dragon. Normally, it's dormant and requires delicate handling to maintain its slumber. However, on occasion, it awakens and causes disruption. This analogy is received positively.

It's been some time since I last updated this page. There hadn't been any significant issues until the previous evening. I was stuck in terribly slow traffic for three hours, and I believe the constant pressure of the seatbelt was the culprit behind my discomfort.
I had reduced my intake to one capsule daily, but the discomfort last night made me take two. These capsules took me on quite a ride, but they successfully alleviated my pain after an hour and a half.
I'm truly grateful for cannabis! -
Bam. The uncomfortable posture I adopted for gardening yesterday seems to have stirred up some discomfort in my stomach, and it's still persisting.
-
All I did was move 14 plants from the shed to the outdoor plot to bloom. Despite being cautious and minimising my movements, I still had a terrible night dealing with persistent pain and discomfort, taking pain relief capsules every three hours throughout the night, which left me feeling extremely drained come morning.
I had another ultrasound of the affected area yesterday and I am set to discuss the results with my doctor next week. It still feels like I've been hit hard in the stomach. -
It's unfortunate to hear about your trouble. I sincerely wish your medicine brings you enduring comfort. The medicine usually works effectively, but the initial 45 minutes of discomfort is quite challenging. Luckily, smoking helps to somewhat lessen the pain by around 30% until the pills fully work.

The final MRI was carried out using a contrast medium, but it didn't reveal anything. Despite frequent ultrasound scans, they still can't identify the cause. For now, a delicate balance has been established with the discomfort. By restricting my daily activities, I manage to keep the pain at bay. I'm not thrilled with this arrangement as I'm a person who enjoys staying active, particularly gardening, and being busy throughout the day.
It's akin to cohabiting with a dormant beast within. Most of the time, it's asleep, and we tread lightly to maintain the calm. However, occasionally, it awakens and delivers another bite.

This page serves as my outlet for frustrations and complaints when I have an event. An issue occurred last night when the hot water pipe to the bathroom sink burst, leaving me with the task of fixing it and cleaning up the mess, which was quite stressful. To make matters worse, I'm also dealing with physical pain.

This is my platform for venting and sharing when I experience a challenging event. An issue with the hot water pipe to my bathroom sink occurred overnight, leaving me with a mess to clean up and a repair job on my hands – incredibly frustrating!
To add to that, I'm in pain.
Wow, what an ordeal you've had to face. It's regrettable that you had to endure such a tough time but I'm really pleased that you found some solace with the oil. (Is your name indicative of your profession as an artist?). The positive effects of this natural remedy are immense. It's improving countless lives, mitigating a great deal of discomfort, and even reversing brain damage among other things.
I appreciate your willingness to openly share your experiences with oil production and other valuable information. Wishing you peace.

Once more, I experienced an intense interaction with cannabis. I took three freshly prepared RSO capsules at 4pm, since I was still experiencing discomfort from my old Stoma site after my transplantation ordeal.
Everything was alright for a few hours, up until the final mouthful of our amazing Mexican fast food dinner around 6pm.
Out of nowhere, a powerful and sneaky hit overcame me, forcing me to lie down or risk falling over. I was extremely high and had an unignorable need to urinate.
Even so, I thought I was alright. I kept convincing myself that I had just taken a bit too much and that the feeling would subside soon. But it didn't. It kept intensifying and I came to a point where I realised I had severely misjudged the dosage and I was in real trouble. All this while, the urge to urinate was dominant, but I couldn't. It felt like a strong, pressing need.
My vision narrowed, sounds were amplified, my skin felt creepy-crawly, and my body temperature alternated between hot flashes and freezing cold. All the while, I still needed to urinate.
I started feeling dizzy and thought I was going to vomit when the room started spinning, forcing me to hold on tight as the world seemed to be trying to throw me off. All I wanted was to be able to urinate!
I was feeling terrible. My stomach was in pain and I was absolutely miserable for about three hours. I kept reminding myself not to call emergency services to report a cannabis overdose. But I still desperately needed to urinate!
Around 1 am, out of sheer tiredness, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 6am.
God, what an experience. This definitely tops the list of times I've misjudged a dosage. -
After undergoing an ultrasound procedure at 9am focused on the area where my old stoma was, I found myself in excruciating pain by 1pm, to the point of wanting to gnaw at my own stomach. This is intolerable! Despite consuming three of the pain relief capsules I'd prepared and a full Vicodin, I'm still bearing the pain, barely keeping it under control.
Update: It's now 3pm, and although I'm heavily medicated and feel quite dazed, the infernal pain persists. The medicine has slightly reduced the intensity, but even the slightest movement is still a struggle for me.
-
It's unfortunate. I sincerely hope that your medication grants you enduring comfort.

I found myself jolted awake at 2am, in profound pain. I took two capsules and a codeine, but had to endure discomfort for an hour and a half before it subsided enough to breathe comfortably. I didn't manage to rouse myself until around 9am, and I'm still feeling sore and moving at a sluggish pace. I'm unsure of what set off this extreme episode, but it's definitely within the top five worst I've experienced. I was so close to waking my partner to take me to the hospital. I'm truly fed up with enduring this.

Bummer. After doing some landscaping in an uncomfortable stance yesterday, it seems I've upset my stomach and the discomfort continues.
