I have not used thc since I was very young im mid 40’s now. I was born without any curve in my back. I now have bad arthritis, 4 damaged disk and the worst grade (3) severe spinal stenosis. My right foot is partially paralyzed now and it is very hard to stand on my feet for long or walk. I do not take any narcotics but am going for steroid shots in my spine. My spine is squeezing my spinal cord and nerves and really makes me miserable. Has any one with this condition gotten any relief from cannabis. I don’t want to get my hopes up or go through the process of getting a card if not. I do get depressed and hardly ever sleep. I was hoping it would ease pain some and let me rest at least. Thanks for any help.

I finally got my appointment with my new doctor . I was surprised how nice and honest he was. I have horrible nerve and back pain from my spine. Half of my right foot is now partially paralyzed and it takes every bit of strength to make it day to day. Been taking meds now for a while but they only help a little bit. All images show very degenerative disk and grade 3 spinal stenosis. The doctor told me he will start injections but he doesn’t think that it will work because he has no way of reaching the problem area because of how small my spine has gotten. I asked why I should even do it and he said because he has to try several things first to satisfy the insurance company before surgery . It really is aggravating that I probably have at least another year of pure hell because of an insurance company.
