I also have a bulging disk in lower neck. I’m 56 years old.I have had steroid epirdural, therapy, no surgery yet.
I been on Vicodin for 18 years, I decided to try certain strains of medical marijuana. The opioid need dropped to about 30%!
Why are the pain specialists dropping patients for this when we could be on way lower amounts of Vicodin and have way less pain? I have been told the fed. government hasn’t rescheduled Med. marijuana. But the state of Arizona has legalized it?
Thanks that is my thoughts.
