I’m actually quite stunned, long figured alcohol had been studied clinically, but apparently not, or least the original author didn’t find such studies... That’s a pretty interesting study.
And yes, fully comprehend where you’re at, and sorry to hear about it. Though I’d try to work towards resolving that chronic pain through restorative treatments like PT or other therapies and surgical options if available. I know that’s not always an option, but man, I’m more than willing to combine the therapies of a TENS unit and three fingers of scotch.
yep, you get it. I need to see the chiropractor for sure before I end up too reliant on ETOH. I like a nice glass of brandy but I’ve never had to drink for pain control. It’s just kind amazing how effective it really is. My pain has gone from unbearable to barely noticeable. What I realizse is that we need a third OTC analgesic. we have tylenol. We have motrin. There’s CBD oil now and I’ve tried it (quite a bit actually) and it there’s definitely something to it but it doesn’t compare to a stiff martini. The liver issues are, of course, the concern.
