Hey everyone, I am ready to make a docotors appointment with a week or two and I have been making sure on all ends if my medical reason will be sufficent. Exactly a year and 2 months ago I began having pain where my liver and kidneys were. Turns out docotors cant find anything really wrong with me but the pain is unbearable @ times and forced me to quit a job. Smoking daily allows me to not notice the pain, makes me hungry and able to keep my food down.
I will have all my medical records, including the E.R. visit where they still couldn't pinpoint anything that would cause such pain. So I was just wondering is that a creditable enough reason?
P.S.: Sorry if thread is long haha.. Thanks to anyone who helps.

Probably not, I think they are going to want a documented medical condition Blow. Your best bet is to probably see a renal specialist and have them run more tests.

Yeah, if your hurting that badly you really need to get a diagnosis. Cannabis may help you forget about the pain, but the pain and the problem are still gonna be there.

"Any other chronic or persistent medical symptom that either: (i) Substantially limits the ability of the person to conduct one or more major life activities as defined by the ADA of 1990; and (ii) if not alleviated, may cause serious harm to the patient's safety or physical or mental health."

If you are in California, that is the law! You don't eat, can't work and have chronic pain- unless you have cannabis. Take your medical records and go! You qualify! If you are worried about qualifying, here's a general tip- the cheaper places in the big cities are generally less "picky" about ailments. They work on a quantity basis. Some of them even take "walk ins"!:cool:

And another tip- go see a urologist! Kidneys are so important, that we "carry a spare"! Nature seldom does anything without a good reason! And a life on dialysis is pretty grim. This is nothing you want to procrastinate on. Find out why you hurt- "It's Nature's way of telling you something is wrong" - Granny:hippy:

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was wondering as well I had surgey on my knee when I was 15 and it'll still ache and complain, and that is documented vy my docotor as well as the other problem.
With the other problem its somewhat of a chain effect after not smoking for a few days i get gas and what seems to be heartburn even if i havent ate anything and that then leads to the pain. Im just tryin to clarify as much as I can so I have a good idea of what to say/do, my chances. Thanks agian everyone.

I think if you can get the records on that knee deal that should work...where is the pain at with the other condition though? Are you having problems eating? How much do you eat a day? had any severe weight loss recently? any stomach cramps?

Does anyone else think the knee problem would be a more soild option? Because I think its pretty clean cut.
What exactly would be considered stomach cramps becuase I get what would be cramping from my side all the way across my stomach and its what hurts me enough to not be able to do anything.
And once agian thanks to everyone, good looking yadiaia?

You should be able to get a card, but you need a real diagnosis.

Organs don't have specific nerve receptors. It's impossible to have burning pain in your liver and kidneys.

I do believe you are having the pain in those areas, but it's got to be from something else. Like muscular. Do you stretch or exercise regulary and do those make the pain worse?

yes, listen to dark cloud, he is very correct in how important kidney's are. I only have one (got one taken out shortly after birth, it was functioning at 2% and only causing more harm then good.)

I don't have to do dialysis but, when I was growing up, all 5 of my doctors were always blah blahing about how I need to take care of this or I would be on dialysis at 12 and dead at 18, well Im 20, and havnt had to do shit and still living like a champ.
