What the Heck??!!

Help!! Chronic pain that never stops following a serious MVA in 2001. I’m a shell of my old self. Stopped going to MD’s, they think I’m crazy? Now I have a strange midsternal burning pain, numbness on side of my neck that has spread to my jaw...my ears even hurt. Can anyone tell me what this is?? I’ve had corticosteroid injections, nerve blocks & epidurals. Have tried opiods and muscle relaxants as well. Even anti seizure meds. Help me please!! This is destroying my life

Unfortunately I know about this oh too well.Ive been in 3 mvas,one of which disabled me with perm injuries n I have severe chronic pain daily since then 26 years.Had the same problems with docs n meds, until i fired all of them n went different med direction.Best decision ever.

Did u have injury to ur head or neck in ur mva?

Dear hippolove1, what different med direction did you go? I have chronic pain as well.

in reply toAuntieH

I took a shot with medical marijuana n never looked back.Best decision in my life.No more side effects n actual relief( not 100% but way more than prescription drugs).It wont cure ya,but it will give ya back ur life.For me anyway.

I strongly suggest organic medical marijuana n going to a licensed dispensary.

I also started going to a highly qualified chiropractor, acupuncturist n Chinese medicine doctors.

I can't wait til medical marijuana is legalized in my state. Can you take it without smoking it? I tried smoking a cigarette once when I was young and that hurts my throat.

in reply toAuntieH

Yes there r tons of options.Its def not what u smoked as a kid..this is medical n made without all the stuff the other stuff had in it.Defonately night n day.Ive been using it about 14 or so years.
