Yes I was taking CBD for several months and it helped for my noal everyday pain, but one of my coworkers was also taking it and got fired when he got drug tested. It's freaking ridiculous, but that is the rules for drivers in Kentucky now...at least the rules for the Medicaid contractor my company works for...we get memos every few months telling us not to take any kind of CBD as it is grounds for immediate termination if we test positive.

That is such bs. Heaven forbid yall use something natural, that works, over something prescribed.

Have you tried CBD without the THC.. I used some in the topical form and it actually worked (you can tell them you have to be able to pass UDS)…a few years ago I would have been like ‘nah’, but it actually does help some people (for some it doesn’t seem to).. I also had a friend who was into essential oil stuff and I thought it was a bunch of crap, but when I had Bell’s Palsy a few years back, her concoction she made actually helped lol.. also neurontin is a miracle drug for nerve related pain imo for short term use

Also can't take Gabapentin (Neurontin)...as a matter of fact there is a long list of over the counter meds like Benadryl that we can't have in our system...it is freaking stupid.

Have you heard of PRP for joint pain and arthritis ? I have a friend that best thing he has ever done. He also has 3 or 4 other friends that have done this.

Is there any chance you could get a doctos note, where they would let you take something?

I'll be praying for you McGill. I can relate to the chronic pain issues. I left pain management 5 years ago because they were essentially turning me into an addict. Now it's like you said, grit my teeth. I hope things get better for you real soon. 🙏

Do like I did and get on and off regularly. If I could do that anybody can.

If you need painkillers to keep from wanting to die, or getting badly depressed because you've hurt so bad for so long...what the heck is worse?

It all depends on why and how you use it...period.

He’s got 1 year left on his deal. If the Titans have a mediocre year next year and look like they are rebuilding of sorts, Henry may test free agency and you lose him for nothing. If Titans get offers for him this off season they’d be stupid not to listen.

So you go from “really good return” to basic “offers” really quick. Again, the trade market for the King isn’t what you think. Since you follow so closely and all as you’ve already admitted

Not a Titans fan so I have no attachment to the guy like Titans fans, but if I’m the GM and I’m going to let my team go through growing pains for a year or two, I’d also look at trading Henry. You can still get a really good return for him right now and he would be 31 years old with a rookie QB in 2024 in your scenario above. Depending on how quickly you can build a championship roster, you may have Henry around 31-33 years old when you finally do. I think he’s built different and can still be a good RB in his early 30s, but history usually shows RB fall off a cliff at some point.

As a Titans fan I actually agree and mentioned this midseason when it was clear our Super Bowl window closed.

Trade Tannehill, trade Henry, trade/release Woods. Keep the defensive unit of you can (Simmons, Landry, Tart, Autry, Byard, Hooker, Fulton, etc). Probably trade Cunningham.

Use the trade capital to rebuild the offensive line. Draft another WR and target a Rd 1 or 2 linebacker. You could probably get a 1st rd pick for Henry still. That's huge. Haskins looked solid against Dallas. Give him the reigns next season and maybe sign a FA or trade like they did with Demarco Murray before Henry became #1.

They'll have a pick around #10. That helps. If you get G Nate Davis and C Ben Jones back healthy and if their contracts are good that would help rebuilding the line. Petit-Freare was not terrible as a rookie, but not great. Will be good cheap depth with Radunz and you can use that Top 10 pick on a guy like Darnell Wright. Sign a FA or trade for a top notch LG and the line looks completely different next year.

If you get another 1st or early 2nd rd pick, take a WR. This is another deep class. They could pair Burks with another stud WR and that room looks solid next year with experienced players like NWI and you get Phillips back.

So you give Dobbs and Willis a competition going into next season. See what they can do, and if they aren't it you use your 1st rd pick in 24 on the next QB.

But I'm not a GM
