I have suffered from tendinitis in my left elbow for 9 years. It comes and goes but when it comes seems like nothing helps.Have great trouble sleeping. I have no insurance and cannot afford the surgery, so for now I'm looking for pain management and a way to sleep. I have had cortisone shots and they help for a couple months. I get an upset stomach from aspirin and such. Has anyone heard of medical marijuana helping in my situation?
thanks,
chetskies

As far as I've heard, medical marijuana doesn't help with pain. It's usually given to cancer and glaucoma patients. I might be wrong, but I've really never heard of it being used for chronic pain. Sorry.
