I have had chronic pain for the past 20 years, diagnosed with degenerative LS disc disease with spinal stenosis, and cervical degenerative disc disease with right radiculopathy. I am taking anti-inflammatories and strong opi*ids.
Since 2006, I decided to give MMJ a try to see if it would help the pain, reduce my tolerance for opi*ids, and reduce my need for prescription anti-inflammatories. Some strains work well, but there are some the seem to amplify some types of pain (sharp, burning). My doctor has asked me to keep a pain diary and I've noticed that my need for heavier and heavier doses has leveled off.
