PLEASE HELP! In need of a compasionate mmj Dr. I suffer from disk herniations in L4 and 5 which are torn and bulging in 3-4 but not burst like in 4/5. 4-5 s-1 sciatica shooting pain 24/7 from lower back to ankle.Heres my problem... I was in the accident back in 96' and did about 3 years of treatment. Phys ther. , traxion , 2 seperate nerve blocks with cortizone , and every pill under the sun... felt like a drugstore. I had spent more money on anything and everything possible to aliveate the pain with no results. Walking is/was the worst in terms of pain increasing , and sitting just wasnt happening in terms of finding a comfortable position... occassional falling etc. due to nerve damage or pushing on nerved making me lose strength/balance... ok so I wont bore you anymore, you get my point if you know what pain does to your mind.... as a last ditch effort I tried mj and WHAM... i SLEPT, i MEAN SLEPT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS... pain deminished to being tolerable. etc etc etc. you know the rest. So here I am... drug free, no more uppers downers and all arounders hat they were so willing to give me... Anti inflaMatories and pain pills WHAT A JOKE! So here I am 2011 and am trying to find a Dr. to help me with my debilitating injury. I have a file filled with all my medical stuff... mri notes and findings ... initial one showing tear in L4 and 5 and bulging in 3-4... electro something showing weakness in motoring skills or something... also have all my lawyers notes and demand letters showing my permanent injuries etc... But this was from a perion of say 1996 through 1999 roughly... Im sorry for such a long boring post but somebody must know something.. I have no recent history... no medical... and have looked and looked on where to go or what to do... one dr. went out of business and then ive been lead down many wrong avenues.
sstreak Reviewed by sstreak on . WHO KNOWS OF FRIENDLY DRs in THE AREA!!! OK, We as patients and caregivers need to be able to keep ourselves up to date on whats happening in our program..And Im sure many have seen just how hard it is to get a DR to write the recommendations(Even your primary care DR for what ever condition/s he sees you for)So..I think we need a thread for people WHO "KNOW" certain Drs that will help Patients with recommendations and Renewals. This IS NOT intended to exploit or put Drs Names out there.IF YOU KNOW OF A DR/Clinic, JUST ADD A Rating: 5
