It generally depends on a few things. 1. Is your current resident state a medical cannabis state, if not your answer is no obviously. 2. Do you have medical records supporting this ailment, if yes to both 1 & 2 then short story yes. My suggestion would be to find a holistic naturopathic doctor or some one who is willing to write a medical cannabis recommendation (Google search medical cannabis authorization in your area). Do your research make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you start setting up appointments, and also check to make sure your doctor has a decent reputation. I have my medical recommendation for DDD, scoliosis, and sciatica.

People will have it usually in the neck and lumbar regions. If in the neck and depending on what nerves are effected it can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome.
