Jack Shephard Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was in a car accident 4 years ago which along with my near decapitation, resulted in a pretty nasty case of TMJ. I've been diagnosed formally and I've consulted my periodontist about ways to aleviate this absolutely constant pain. His only remedies were a $5,000 split i couldn't afford with no insurance, valium which did not work and left me feeling drugged, and opiates, of which i'm a recovering addict. Since I have my doctor visits documented since 2008, could i acquire a doctors recommendation for medical marijuana for TMJ under the guideline's of severe or chronic pain? if this has been discussed previous to myself, i am sorry, but i couldn't find a search function of the forum for the life of me!

LongHairBri Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 your as good as signed........records containing Dr. notes documenting treatment for "chronic and debilitating pain" are more than enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongHairBri Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 you have a long term, documented condition. you are EXACTLY the type of patient this program is meant to serve. opiates are poison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandakos Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I have seen people suffering from chronic pain all day long, and I have always heard that there is no real over the counter solution for chronic pain. I would also mention that marijuana didn’t counteract with the opiates already present in the body, and it alleviates patients with chronic pain. Hope Jack have a list of some good medical marijuana doctors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartyon Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 my regular (oakwood) doc refuses to sign my recomendation but wants to send me to a pain clinic, gee thanks doc may as well go find me a herion dealer next with my addictive personality. I have records a mile long 3 major operations born with multiple congentitial extosis and i will die with it. forced to go to a card mill clinic bunny muffins its frustrating. If i went to the pain clinice should be able to sue doc for malpractice for turning me/us int addicts when there is a better solution out there and politics are the deciding factor.
