For the past 7 weeks, I have a sharp, intense pains radiating down my leg. I had ultrasounds, xrays and an MRI, all which showed nothing. These doctors keep throwing muscle relaxers and vicodin/percoset at me even after I tell them it does NOTHING for the actual pain.

I realize some of the other members on here have been dealing with chronic pain for months/years, and to be honest, I don't know how you do it. Even after 7 weeks, at one point today I got really teary eyed (its okay, I'm a female) because it hurts every waking moment and I feel like I'm about to reach my breaking point.

I've smoked a few times and I can actually get up, walk around and bend over to pick something up without wincing in pain. I can do laundry, play with my dog, clean the house, you know...live a normal life!

After 7 weeks of doctors appointments, is it too soon to begin seeking a mmp card? From the looks of these boards, I guess its not easy finding a doctor. I'm hesitant to ask my regular doctor about this, in fear that she will say no and it will affect any future visits when I need a prescription drug.

Advice? I'm new to the board so feel free to haze me...haha...

Thanks
