I am a 30 yr old married mom of 3 located in Southern-Central Ontario, Canada desperate to find a dr whom will sign the forma for medical marijuana. I started having issues with my back as a child, but my parents ignored my claims. In 2003 after giving birth to my oldest daughter I sought out Leo from my family dr. In 2004 I was diagnosed with Severe Spinal Stenosis. In January 2006 I had decompression surgery of L5-S1 which was unsuccessful in helping my pain. I have been on a variety of different narcotic pain meds since 2003, but have been on Fentanyl for the last 5-6 years at varying strengths. It is no longer helping, and although I have asked my doctor about Medical Marijuana she is not comfortable completing this for me. I don't like the Fentanyl because of how dangerous it can be, as well as remade effects but it's no longer helping my pain. I am desperate for something different, something that can help me function better. I have children whom rely on me & most days the pain is so bad I'm very limited in what I can do. The pain has made my depression & anxiety worse, I'm not sleeping & my appetite has deteriorated as well. I have had several MRI's, X-rays & CT scans done, I have seen my primary dr every 3 months for years due to my spinal stenosis, depression & PTSD. I have also been diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease & Osteo-Arthritis by my surgeon in Richmond Hill. I have seen a pain specialist who recommended injections into my spine which I was not comfortable with & temporarily had me on Gabopentin which I had bad reactions to. I use a TENS machine 3 times daily, along with heat therapy, and have been prescribed massage therapy & chiropractic care but can not afford either as I am in ODSP due to my disability. I need help, please help me.
