I know this is a six-month old thread, but lots of searching led me here. I'm not sure how to define chronic pain, but I've been dealing with collapsed arches in my feet since the age of 10. I'm 30 now, and I've eaten more rapid-release gelcaps than I care to think about. I have gone through my fair share of norco's and other scripts, and hated how I felt through the day and the havoc it wreaked on my body. I work 12 to 16 hour days, and by the time I get home my feet feel like every bone is being pressed in a vice. I've lived here in Washington State for years now, and only recently got around to thinking about getting medical marijuana for my foot pain. At a friend's suggestion (a mmj user), I tried some at the end of a particularly shitty day. It nearly erased my pain for that night. So, any ideas what my odds of getting a recommendation are?
