Lavender & Rose

My pain scale when I take my prescription pain pills is between 3-5 it depends on how bad it is before taking my prescription pain pills. Before taking prescription pain pills, it is between 6-8. The worst I've ever had is 9-10 when I had my Spinal Fusion Surgery back in May 2007 at 14 years old for Scoliosis 50°+ curve.

I take over the counter pain medicine and prescription pain medicine (Tramadol). I am getting a medical marijuanas card so hopefully that helps. I have Spinal Stenosis and also Arthritis in my lower back. I have a spot at the top of my back that hurts really bad most of the time. I think it's a pinched nerve. It's close to my Spinal Fusion area so I've only been able to use Tramadol for some relief. It's close to my Spinal Fusion that I don't know if anything else can be done there.

📜🖊✏️ Meet The Blogger 📜🖊✏️ Hello, I'm Christina Williams! I was born in the United Kingdom to my British Mom and American Dad. I live in the United States of America (since 2000 military life, because my Dad was in the military at the time). I created my blog website, Lavender & Rose, because my Grandma Pearl on my mom's side loved Lavender/Bluebells! My mom loved Roses, and so do I! So it's a lovely way to remember my loved ones. I also enjoy learning herbal remedies, aromatherapy, mental health & wellness support. I wanted to share what I learn plus I deal with mental health issues (major depressive disorder & anxiety).
