Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Fibroids when produce symptoms of this severity then they should be removed by a surgeon rather then continued.
Marijuana is not indicated for fibroids and there is no reason to start it in an elderly lady.
Rather it has a potential for harm so avoid it.
I hope you will be benefitted by this consult.
I find this answer helpful
