Question 3 failed spinal fusions

and NO pain medication in two months now!
Lost my medical insurance
finally getting into a sliding scale doctor till hopefully I qualify for some type of medical, I am now 100% disabled also after last surgery 2-2013 I have brain damage due to lack of oxygen to my brain ( no answers as to why).
My pain keeps me bedridden most of the time, I cant stand sit walk for more then 15 minutes due to the pain.

I sure hope I'm able to get type of relief just a little would be nice for the most part I TRY to ignore it but it don't work.
I just want to scream! and ask why? why my surgeon did this and then lets me suffer?

I rarely suggest this, but if this was due to, or a result of, surgery, I would talk with a medical malpractice attorney.

I also don't know if this is an option for you (it's not for everyone) but medical marijuana is legal in AZ.

I am currently seeking out attorneys
seems Im having problems finding one that hasn't had some kind of dealings with him already Im told Ill probable have to go out of the area maybe out of state to find an attorney.
its very frustrating
and yes it is legal here a lot of people have suggested I get on the medical marijuana
my concerns are: would it be cheaper and work better then pain meds
last time I was on pain meds I was on
titanidine hcl 4 mg
Norco 7.5-750 mg
oxycontin hcl 20 mg
Neurontin 300 mg
fentanyl patch
oxycodone 10 mg
valium 10 mg
I was a zombie plus at that time I had insurance I couldn't afford them now
and also would it effect a lawsuit me being on it?
but im getting to the point Im ready to try anything also the legal card costs money to get not sure how much
the lack of oxygen was either a stroke or when I had to have 3 blood transfusions 2 days post op. blood pressure very low and lack of blood and oxygen to my brain
