Abdominal Adhesion Treatment with Cannabis Oil
-
Trapped in the lodge due to heavy snowfall (which happens somewhat frequently). We received roughly 30 inches of snow, and after three days, I'd used up all the easily accessible firewood. The main reserves of wood are uphill about 30 feet, and it took about 20 minutes of shovelling and stomping to create a path to it, after which I began bringing in the wood.
After six rounds of hauling wood, I felt a pull. I completed the seventh load, but couldn't remove my snow boots without some discomfort. The pain wasn't in the usual spots where it's so intense that I'd bite my hand to keep from yelling. This time, it was higher on the right side, near an old scar. It was an unusual location, but the pain was so intense I just wanted it to stop.
The last painkiller capsule and a hit of medicinal hashish along with three aspirin and a saved codeine tablet finally provided some relief.
It seems it's been a year since I've experienced pain severe enough to make a note of it, and as the old saying goes,
"May you live in fascinating times." -
Consider it like this, it's as if you're cohabiting with a slumbering beast within you. Generally, it remains dormant and we delicately navigate to maintain its sleep. Occasionally, however, it stirs and takes another bite. Haha, what an interesting perspective.

The process of adhesion formation is similar to that of scarring and is a natural part of the body's healing process, particularly after surgery. Adhesions happen when the scar tissue extends from one tissue to another, usually across a cavity within the body. This tends to occur when two damaged surfaces are in close proximity, causing inflammation and fibrin deposits. The fibrin acts as a glue, sealing the injury and initiating the first stage of adhesion, known as "fibrinous." In some cases, enzymes may limit the extent of the adhesion or even dissolve it. However, if the production of these enzymes is compromised due to injury, the adhesion persists, leading to a more permanent fibrous adhesion.
Adhesions can prevent muscle and other tissues and organs from moving freely, sometimes causing organs to become twisted or pulled from their normal positions. Abdominal adhesions are a common result of abdominal surgical procedures and can attach internal organs to the surgical site or to other organs in the abdominal cavity. This can result in complications like abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction. A significant consequence of post-surgical adhesions is the Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO), which can occur even 20 years after the initial surgical procedure and can be potentially fatal without immediate medical attention.
A large proportion of people develop adhesions after undergoing open abdominal or pelvic surgery. Post-operative adhesions can make subsequent abdominal or pelvic surgical procedures more risky. Certain organs and structures in the body are more prone to adhesion formation than others.
On a personal note, abdominal surgery can be an intense experience, involving recovery periods, potential complications, and lifestyle changes. The physical toll of surgery can lead to limitations in movements and chronic pain. Some find relief in alternative methods of pain management, such as cannabis.
Being empathetic and understanding towards those who have experienced such surgeries, and hoping for their relief, is a universal sentiment that transcends religious beliefs.

Hopefully, the expert will be able to assist with your discomfort, which can be quite exasperating. Despite the latest MRI featuring contrast, they still claim that they can't detect anything from either the MRI or the repeated Ultrasonic scans. For now, an uncomfortable truce has been established between me and my pain. I restrict my daily activities and, in return, the discomfort keeps its distance. This isn't ideal, as I'm a busy person who enjoys gardening and staying active throughout the day.

After enduring 20 minutes of an ultrasound technician applying pressure on the vicinity of my former stoma area at the start of the day, by early afternoon, I'm in so much agony that I feel like gnawing off my own stomach. This is unbearable! Even after taking three of the pain relief capsules I recently prepared and a full dose of strong painkiller, I'm still clenching my teeth to contain the pain.
Update: By mid-afternoon, I'm as high as a kite but still experiencing intense pain. The medication has taken some of the edge off but I'm still struggling whenever I have to move.

Adhesions are a natural part of the body's healing process after surgery, much like scars. They occur when the scar tissue extends from one tissue to another, usually across a virtual space such as the peritoneal cavity. Following a surgery, adhesions typically form when two injured surfaces are near each other, causing inflammation and fibrin deposits on the damaged tissues. The fibrin connects the two damaged structures, acting like glue to seal the injury and build the initial adhesion, known as "fibrinous". In body cavities like the peritoneal, pericardial, and synovial cavities, a group of fibrinolytic enzymes may limit the initial fibrinous adhesion, and may even dissolve it. However, in many cases, the production or activity of these enzymes is compromised due to injury, and the fibrinous adhesion persists. If this happens, tissue repair cells like macrophages, fibroblasts, and blood vessel cells penetrate into the fibrinous adhesion and lay down collagen and other matrix substances to form a permanent fibrous adhesion.
Some adhesions do not cause issues, but others can prevent tissues and organs from moving freely, sometimes causing organs to become twisted or pulled from their normal positions. In particular, abdominal adhesions are most commonly caused by abdominal surgical procedures, causing internal organs to attach to the surgical site or other organs in the abdomen. This can cause abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction.
A significant consequence of post-surgical adhesions is small bowel obstruction (SBO), which may be caused when an adhesion pulls or kinks the small intestine, preventing the flow of content through the digestive tract. This can occur many years after the initial surgery, and is an emergency situation that can be fatal without immediate medical attention.
More than 90% of people develop adhesions following open abdominal surgery and 55–100% of women develop adhesions following pelvic surgery. Adhesions from prior surgeries can obscure visibility and access during subsequent surgeries. On top of that, some organs and structures in the body are more prone to adhesion formation than others. The omentum is particularly susceptible to adhesion formation.
On a more personal note, the pain and discomfort caused by adhesions can severely limit one's range of motion. The resulting pain can range from moderate to severe, and certain movements or actions can trigger an episode of intense pain. Despite these challenges, some have found relief in alternative treatments like edible oil.

I completely understand your discomfort, truly. I underwent a significant surgical procedure that ran from my lower abdomen to my chest. I spent nearly 12 hours in surgery. Adhesions are simply the worst...

Once more, I experienced a potent impact from cannabis. I took three freshly prepared RSO capsules around 4pm, as I was still experiencing some discomfort from my previous surgical site after undergoing some medical procedures.
All seemed well for a few hours, right up until I finished a delicious Mexican-inspired dinner around 6pm.
Suddenly, I felt a rush of intense effect, similar to being struck by a velvet hammer. It was a choice of lying down or collapsing. I was incredibly affected and overwhelmed by the need to urinate.
However, I remained calm, telling myself that I had perhaps just consumed too much and it would soon subside. But nothing changed, the intensity kept escalating and I realised that I may have significantly misjudged the dosage and could be in trouble. All the while, the pressing need to urinate persisted, but I was unable to do so.
My vision narrowed, sounds were amplified, my skin felt strange, and my temperature fluctuated rapidly. All this time, the urge to urinate remained.
I began to feel dizzy and nauseous, as if the room was spinning and I had to keep myself from being thrown off balance. I just wanted to be able to urinate!
Now, I was feeling unwell. I had been enduring abdominal pain and extreme discomfort for the past three hours. I kept reminding myself not to call emergency services and report a cannabis overdose. Yet, I was still unable to urinate!
Around 1am, due to sheer exhaustion, I passed out and didn't wake up until 6am. What an intense experience that was! It was such a miscalculation, this incident takes the top spot for the biggest misjudgement of dosage.

Bam. Overdoing the gardening yesterday has upset my stomach and the discomfort is persisting.

Once more, I experienced a potent encounter with cannabis. I took three newly created RSO capsules at around 4pm, as I was still sensing a bit of discomfort from my old stoma site post-transplant.
Everything was okay for a few hours, up until the very last bite of our delightful taco dinner around 6pm.
Out of nowhere, a powerful sensation crept up on me, forcing me to either lie down or risk falling over. I was incredibly high and had an intense need to urinate.
Even then, I was alright. I kept telling myself that I'd just taken a bit too much and the feeling would fade soon. But it didn't, it kept intensifying. I reached a point where I realised I'd seriously miscalculated the dosage and was in genuine danger. And all the while, this desperate need to urinate persisted, but I just couldn't.
My vision became tunneled, sounds were overwhelmingly loud, my skin felt peculiar, and my body temperature fluctuated rapidly. The need to urinate was still there.
The room started spinning and I thought I was going to be sick as the world seemed to be trying its best to fling me off. All I wanted was to be able to urinate.
Now, I felt truly awful. My stomach was in pain and I'd been absolutely miserable for the past three hours. I kept telling myself, "I will not call emergency services and report a cannabis overdose." The urge to urinate was still present.
Around 1am, I finally passed out from sheer exhaustion and didn't wake up until 6am.
What a wild experience that was. I think this incident takes the crown for the most I've ever misjudged a dose. -
I can completely relate to your discomfort. I underwent a significant surgical procedure, which extended from my lower abdomen up to my chest. I spent nearly 12 hours in surgery. It's safe to say that surgical adhesions are not at all pleasant.

Adhesions occur naturally in the body as part of the healing process after surgery, much like how scars form. They typically arise when two injured surfaces are close together, causing an inflammatory response and the deposit of fibrin, a protein that acts as a glue to seal the injury. In cases where the production or activity of fibrin-dissolving enzymes is affected due to injury, these adhesions can persist and become fibrous and permanent. While some adhesions are harmless, others can restrict the movement of muscles, organs, and other tissues, sometimes causing them to distort or move from their normal positions.
Intra-abdominal adhesions, often a result of abdominal surgical procedures, can cause internal organs to stick to the surgical site or to other organs in the abdominal cavity. This can lead to complications such as abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction. A serious consequence of post-surgical adhesions is Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO), which may occur decades after the initial surgical procedure.
Research has shown that more than 90% of individuals develop adhesions after open abdominal surgery and 55–100% of women develop adhesions after pelvic surgery. Adhesions can complicate subsequent surgeries by obscuring visibility and access. Certain body parts, such as the omentum, are more prone to adhesion formation.
Switching to a personal narrative, the author recounts their own experience with abdominal surgery and the aftermath, including complications with adhesions. The author mentions the immense pain caused by these adhesions and how certain movements can trigger painful episodes. The author also shares their experience using cannabis, both smoked and in oil form, as a form of pain relief. The author's journey is ongoing, and they promise to share more in the future. Their story is being closely followed by many.

This is a space where I vent and propose solutions when I face a problem. An issue arose when the hot water pipe leading to the bathroom sink burst overnight, causing a mess that needed fixing and cleaning. This has been a really frustrating and painful experience.

This is a space for me to vent and share when I'm facing a challenge. Last night, I had a plumbing disaster when the hot water pipe to my bathroom sink burst. The repair and clean-up process has been frustrating and painful.
Your empathy and understanding are appreciated during this difficult time. It's comforting to know that the natural remedies you suggested have been beneficial. The herbal treatment has been a lifesaver, providing pain relief, aiding in recovery, and offering numerous other health benefits.
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge on how to prepare this oil. Wishing you peace and serenity.

It's been some time since I last refreshed this page. Only recently did I experience a particularly awful occasion. I was caught in painfully slow traffic for three hours, and I suspect the prolonged pressure from the seatbelt is what caused my severe discomfort.
I had reduced my intake to one capsule per day, but the two I consumed yesterday propelled me into an extreme reality, akin to being beyond Pluto, yet they managed to alleviate the pain after an hour and a half.
I am truly grateful for cannabis! -
Adhesions develop naturally as part of the body's healing process after surgery, similar to scar formation. They typically occur when scar tissue extends from one area to another, often across a cavity within the body. This usually happens when two damaged surfaces are in close proximity, causing inflammation and deposits of a protein called fibrin onto the damaged tissues. Fibrin acts like a glue, sealing the injury and creating the initial adhesion. However, in some cases, due to injury, the enzymes that could potentially dissolve these fibrin adhesions are hindered, allowing the adhesion to persist. Over time, tissue repair cells infiltrate the fibrin adhesion and create a more permanent fibrous adhesion.
Although some adhesions don't cause problems, others can restrict the free movement of muscles, tissues, and organs, sometimes resulting in organs being twisted or pulled out of their normal positions.
Abdominal adhesions, most commonly caused by abdominal surgery, can cause organs to adhere to the surgical site or other organs within the abdominal cavity. This can lead to complications such as abdominal pain or intestinal obstruction. A severe consequence of post-surgical adhesions is small bowel obstruction, which can occur when an adhesion restricts or blocks the small intestine. This can happen many years after the initial surgery and requires immediate medical attention due to its potential to be fatal.
A significant number of people develop adhesions following abdominal or pelvic surgery. Not only can adhesions cause complications, but they can also obstruct visibility and access during subsequent surgeries. Certain body structures are more susceptible to adhesion formation than others.
After providing a detailed explanation of adhesions and their complications, the original text shifts to a personal narrative. The author recounts a personal health journey, starting with an emergency surgery for diverticulitis, followed by multiple surgeries and challenges related to adhesions. They describe the ongoing pain and discomfort caused by the adhesions, and how cannabis has provided some relief for their symptoms. The author concludes by sharing their exploration of cannabis oil as a substitute for smoking, due to a lung infection. The narrative ends with the author promising to continue their story later.

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.
