i am a patient with chronic pain. onset of pain has an extremely good prognosis, and should get better in a few months. chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than three months with physiological causes(i.e. herniated disc, neurological nerve pain, migraines, etc.) debilitating is defined as greatly interfering with daily activities like school, work, social life, or mental state.

it took me almost a year to find a doctor, and i have positive test results, and have tried tons of other things to get me down that road. if you truly believe that the herb will help manage the pain, if it becomes chronic(sic) ask your doctor. if you believe afterwards that your doc is discriminating against you for asking, that is illegal and you can sue.
