A Lifeline in Chronic Pain: Cannabis Changed My Life

“I was referred to Dr. Caplan by my orthopedist after years of dealing with debilitating lower back pain. I had been through physical therapy, painkillers, and injections, but nothing offered lasting relief. Honestly, I was skeptical about trying cannabis. I had always associated it with recreational use and didn’t see how it could be a solution for chronic pain. But after my orthopedist explained the potential benefits and encouraged me to meet with Dr. Caplan, I decided to give it a chance. From the moment I walked into Dr. Caplan’s office, I felt like he was different from any doctor I’d seen before. He listened carefully to my history and my concerns, and instead of pushing cannabis on me, he educated me on the science behind it. He explained how it could help reduce inflammation and manage pain without the foggy side effects I was used to with traditional medications. Now, after six months of working with Dr. Caplan, my pain is more manageable than I ever thought possible. I’m not saying it’s a magic cure, but for the first time in years, I feel like I have control over my life again. His compassion and expertise have been a lifeline for me.”
