It's funny that I stumbled across this site and this post.
I am 30 and recently moved to California and have an appointment next week for a MM recommendation. This all stems from a similar broken leg injury from two years ago. I have gone through 3 different surgeries, still have a rod and 4 screws in my leg (they are permanent), and my fibula is still tangibly broken (you can feel it through the skin) and will likely never heal. I have had prescriptions for Oxycontin and Hydrocodone that I haven't refilled in over a year because of the side effects.
Sadly I feel almost guilty about trying to get a MM recommendation. I had not ever tried marijuana before about a month ago when a friend recommended I try it for my leg pain. My pain is not that bad, but it's there everyday and it keeps me from doing some things and is generally just a restriction on my lifestyle. The marijuana feels like the pain medicine that I've always needed and never had. It takes away my pain while not making me a cranky insomniac like the pain meds do.
I hope all goes well at the doctor. I know that I'm qualified to get this but the federal laws make me feel guilty about getting help, which is sad.
