Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a left ventricular assistive device and suffer from pain in my neck and shoulders from carrying my batteries and and controller all day. I have tried over the counter Tylenol with codeine but it doesn t seem to help. I was wondering if medical marijuana can be used by LVAD patients? when I was hospitalized they gave me Morphine tablets that helped, but I don t know if it a good idea to use it all the time. tksCV
As you explain the situation I am afraid we can not suggest use of Marijuana. You can try Ibrufen twice for some days. If doesn't help than contact your doctor.
Regards
Dr.Jolanda
