Many doctors are pushing CBD now because many patients claim really good benefits with pain. Some patients say it doesn't help their pain.
Doctors are trying to get away from the highly addictive drugs like opioids that also kill so many people annually.
They say CBD gummies or whatever have no THC in them, so a person can take them and not test positive for any drugs. Some people say they really help their pain and sleep and stress.

Fernando needs to find out the root cause of the pain before he starts treating it, imo. I am not a doctor. A chronic pain level of 2 would wear most people out over time. Now if it was a muscle strain and slowly got better over a few days, that is a different story.

That's what I'm saying. Some things you don't need to play around with. He may need X ray and physical therapy on it or something.
Okay, I tolerate pain pretty well. A 2 to me would probably be like a 5 or 6 to many people on pain level. However, I like to know the source.
Plus he has way better health insurance than me and way more money. So, he needs to have somebody check it out. Go from there.

I have a ruptured disc in my lower back and never had surgery. It eventually moved off the nerve to where I am okay. Or the nerve adjusted to the pressure from the disc. That was many years ago. It still gets on that nerve sometimes and bothers me. It could be something in the spine. It could be purely muscle pain. It could be kidney. It could be something else.
Walking is very good therapy for lower back pain if you don't have something serious going on down there. Even with a ruptured or bulging disc, the doctors will tell you walking is very good for the condition.
I had a bad fall to rupture my lower disc. Landed right on concrete on my tailbone. I knew what I did. I am just glad it slowly got better. I didn't want surgery. The pain on it was so bad that nothing touched it the next morning after the fall. It slowly improved. Went to orthopedic doctor next morning. I had to have somebody take me. I was in severe pain. No way I could have drove a car. I was on verge of calling ambulance and family member came and transported me.
I was standing on about a 3 ft high bathroom solid surface countertop that was wet and changing a light bulb. I was in really good shape, but my feet fell out from under me on the wet countertop and the first thing to hit the concrete was my tailbone. I laid there a while and said I can handle this. The next morning when I got out of bed I went to the toilet for business and it felt like somebody stuck a butcher knife in my leg. It would not quit hurting. It took a few days before I needed no pain meds. The disc was already ruptured and something about going to sit on toilet next morning put way too much pressure on that nerve running down the leg than it could stand and brain said your in trouble. The nerve was on the disc.

Okay, I know people who have disc problems in lower back or spine from top to bottom from no apparent injuries. Come on Fernando. Your smarter than this.
Go get it checked out. You can't pack a suitcase with all that money with you. I never saw a hurst with a suitcase.

Go get some blood work done and let them check you out. This ain't rocket science. Are you scared of doctors? I am. LOL
I bet you have some nice minor medical clinics nearby. They can do tons of things in minor medical medical emergency clinics now.
Check it out. Make sure they are on your insurance approved provider list. LOL
I don't mind you spending smart money.
