Do you think i qualify for a medical card?

i live in whatcom county and am 19
i have an unusual straightening of the spine due to muscle problems and inflammation in my lower back, this has cause two of my discs to bulge into my spinal column pinching my nerve in two places.

symptoms from this include jolting pain down my legs and sharp pain in my back if i move my wrong, a constant pain in my lower back, and constant pain around my thigh, knee, and back of my leg.(this is what i stilll have after the treatments i have done)

i did physical therapy for 4 months and it helped a little, ive had 2 steroid injections into my spine, and i was perscribed valium for a while (didnt like it and didnt help much)

i have mri report and chart notes from sep 09 until now confirming everything ive said here

does this sound like something id get a card for? or has anyone else gotten one for something similiar to this
(also i have asked my docter what he thinks about medical marijuana, his response was if it helps do it but i dont give reccomendations for it because it is bad for your lungs, but just buy the canadian stuff that is in the neighborhood anyway cause its better then the washington medical.)

Yes I think you qualify. Call THCF. They have a lot of locations. Just show up there with a printout of your medical history and they will help you the same day. Do not call in first, they will tell you you need to have 3 chronic pain incidences in the last 90 days documented or have one of the conditions on the WACL list. Since youve had a steroid injection and all that. you will be qualified, you just need to show up.

If you haven't already I say go for it. I have a similar problem with only one of my discs bulging out into my nerves. I had an MRI done and all of the paperwork. I went with the Washington Medical Marijuana Group out of Seattle. They are wonderful and I completely recommend going through them.

I got mine for chronic pain (psoriatic arthritis) but I do have opiate intolerance (painkillers make me puke). Sent my medical records by mail and they called me back very soon with their decision and to schedule an appointment. The THCF website has all the information you really need and they are there to help YOU, not to make you feel guilty because you don't want to feel bad or in pain... There are cheaper places I've seen advertised but I just renewed there last month. I like the level of prefessionalism and the fact that they are nation wide. It costs nothing to send them your records and get a medical decision...

There are people who get medical cards for allergies, so don't feel bad about your condition qualifying you for a card.

I'd say hell yeah, that better qualify you. While I can't make your life any better, I do hope that you find some comfort and relief from what must be terrible pain at times.
