Hey all, I have recently pursued my medical marijuana license for a shoulder injury I received back in 2009. Initially was on muscle relaxers and a bout of physical therapy, the relaxers caused bad reactions and never really relieved any symptoms. The PT worked for awhile and the exercises kept me a minimum of strength, but after several years of natural degradation fueled by a couple of brutal summers working in a retail store room my condition has only worsened and any exercises only slow down the process. In the past eighteen months I have gotten two more scrips for PT (one in VT and just recently in RI), steroids - specifically cortisone is out of the question due to past poor reactions, as well as NSAIDs due to the nausea caused being just as bad as any pain being blocked. Currently my pain is a consistent dull ache that would rate a 3/10, any pressure on it or using it (especially overhead) a 6/10 and at least once a month I wake up in tremendous pain in my neck, back, and shoulders rendering me unable to turn my head more than 60degrees either way (9 or 10/10). I can no longer sleep on that shoulder or support my body for more than a minute tops before the pain becomes overwhelming. I would like to pursue a treatment of PT combined with MMJ to strengthen and relieve the pain. Today I went and had an X-ray to see the depth of the issue. Do you believe this is a valid case? If I do get approved I will be looking for a caregiver so feel free to message me.
