Ok, I've got to be honest here, I won't know if I don't ask. I use to smoke marajuana before surgery, I quit weeks before surgery and have not had it ever since. I just started smoking it about two years ago because of my gout and it gave me great relief, more than my meds. My question is, I will be 4 weeks out comes this Monday and I want to inhale so bad, but I'm scared it may do something to my recovery, but on the other hand because I've used it for healing in the past I want it. What are your honest opinion? If you are a smoker have you started back smoking again?

Honestly I wouldn't risk it. I used to smoke a while ago and quit smoking cigarettes two years ago. The chance of getting an ulcer isn't worth it to me. You don't know what's in it ( unless you grow it yourself) and I think I would just feel disappointed in myself that I did this amazing thing to get myself healthy just to screw it up doing something not so healthy.

I say this with nothing but respect for you, but you've done so much to improve your health, please try to quit for good. Otherwise you may be trading one health problem for another.

My dr. Told me I could smoke pot about 4 weeks after surgery. Said I would not be at anymore risk. Of negative effects than someone who's never had the surgery, pot is only toxic to your lungs when smoked. The morphine, Percocet, and even acetometiphen you've taking are more toxic to your organs than pot. I've resumed pot. I am not a doctor or recommend any one else smoke the herb .

And by the way, I had gout too!!!!! That was worse than surgery, lol. Won't miss gout, already off my gout meds

Did you have any complications after surgery and when was your surgery?

I know right..

I'm smoking e-cig and I haven't stoped but no nicotine. I can also go hours with out so it's a mind thing.

I would eat it...better for pain...no nasty lung effects. Of course it might be hard to eat enough to be effective. Have you tried an aerator?

I heard eating it is more potent, what's an aerator?

An aerator makes it a vapor and less harmful.

Google marijuana vaporizer if you're in a medical marijuana state

Use a vaporizer or make edibles. sugar free type Cookies. I used to make edibles and it's more intense than smoking and less harmful to the body.

I started smoking about two weeks after my surgery, I was nauseous ALL the time and I couldn't take it. It's really important to make sure not to eat tho cause of the munchies, I allow my self a bottle of Water lol. I had no negative problems. It effects me a lil more then it did before but that's bout it.
