I'm currently on disability because recently i injured myself at my former job. It was first thought to be a back strain but after an MRI, it came back positive showing 2 discs smaller than the rest which was caused from constant heavy lifting. The wear and tear is so severe that i have chronic pain in my lower back and shooting pains down my legs. The wear has also caused a nerve to be pinched or squished on my left side causing tingling and numbness. This has been going on for 6months and im due for a cortizone shot in a few weeks.
In my eyes, i think the chronic pain, the MRI results, and other personal info. given to doc is more than enough for a card. Marijuana is the only thing that helps me sleep and relax. Pills make me sick and throwup. I also have stomach/intestinal issues which is another reason why i stay away from narcotics. I'm nervous in approaching a doctor about it and getting a dirty response. Ive got a clean background, straight up person with nothing to hide.
Anyone have any advice? going thru lawsuit to help since my injury is permanent, not sure if having one would help.
