Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Have Intervertebral Disc Desiccation, Lodosis, Have Chiari Malformation. Will Marijuana Help?
I have Chiari malformation, after this i diagnosis i have surgery about six months later. 1. My Cerebellar tonsils were peg shaped & was extended 10 mm into the hole in the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes. Narrowing of the passage in which spnialfluid flows. Resulting in: 2. C3-C4 intervertebral disc desiccation. 3. Straightening of the normal lordosis. 4. A syrinx at the C4-C6 level.
Will marijuana benifit me for my disc desiccation and nerve pain?
I understand your situation. It is difficult to have such a condition and I am thinking that medical marijuana may be for you. You need to see a pain specialist and a psychiatrist and get a psychotherapy consultation for the medical marijuana, only after having used everything for pain that can help other than marijuana. I hope this is the case. Hope you a good recovery. Take care and have a lovely day!
