I am a 25 yr old male who has been in severe pain for a while. I have inflammation and pain in my brain heart and lungs, i've had major surgery on my sternum and ribcage when I was 16 and i smoked pot almost daily(though Ive used a vaporizer and cut back on my usage and smoking CANNOT be the reason). I don't smoke cigs at all.
Now the problem is i've been to MANY different doctors trying to get relief and find a cure but it seems they dont hold my best interests at heart or care much about the pain that I am constantly in. I have been to countless doctors so many times and they have ran all sorts of test and cannot find out what's wrong. I've tried many different medications that were suppose to cure the problem but never did. I've reminded them time and time again they are working for me.. When I went the the specialist at first when I was given some anti-inflammatories that made my stomach bleed I decided to go to another doctor who seemed as if he didnt even care and prescribed the exact same thing after I told him it didnt help. I have been tested from head to toe, many chest x-rays, many different doctors, everything, yet nobody has been able to pinpoint a specific cause aside from the skeletal surgery and pleurisy. I don't think it's from the surgery. I've seen a specialist who prescribed me physical therapy which didn't help one bit.... and a pain management doctor who gave me cortosteroid/anesthetic injections in my chest and sent me home with tramadol which did nothing but give me panic attacks. I've been practicing alternative medicine and meditation because medical doctors sometimes act as if they don't have an ounce of compassion.
And I know it's very difficult to find the right doctor. But I have been to so many of them and I can't it afford to go all the time because I don' have insurance anymore.
My quality of life is way down, I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed life it's so bad. The sharp, stinging pains are constant and a huge distraction. I've had to drop out of several of my college classes because of my inability to focus because of the intense pain. I haven't been able to support myself or work. I cannot function, im suffering and I need something to alleviate the symptoms and cure the problem. And so far Cannabis and some opiates are the only decent pain relievers(they definately help me to were I can function normally and live life without pain) and i've tried a wide range of medicines.
Because I will tell you there is no way I could make it through this life without ganj it is a godsend for my pain.
And I know an individual shouldn't need a drug to make life worth living but the question that is staring me in the face is do I continue in this state of acute pain and misery and wither the rest of my life away and die or take scheduled doses of cannabis.
I'm looking for a cure rather than just something to mask the symptoms but I need some relief. The doctors just don't seem to care. Let me clarify that this is not asking for how to get drugs or marijuana, I just want to fix the root of the issue, so the pain stops.
I am at my wits end right now and am in so much pain every minute of my life is living hell. I've tried swimming, stretching, tai chi, acupuncture and massaging that area. The only things that help are massage, heat and CANNABIS. I've been trying to excercise, taking goldseal/cayenne/capsicum supplements daily. Eating whole grains, fruits and veggies and drinking lots of water.
I would probably say eating marijuana is the only safe pain medicine to use for me because of my pleurisy. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help me to find out how to get me some meds because I am having problems with that.I am making an honest effort to help himself by talking with my doctors and researching for solutions to the problem on the web. We all know that drugs can be very helpful and it is especially true in my case. That being said, thanks in advance for any advices that you can give and I will take advantage of any good oppurtunities that come my way.
Peace
