How do I obtain a Medical Marijuana health card if I don't know a special doctor that does this (have an acute ongoing severe back pain that is worsening since aging (I am age 77) This has been a chronic problem since age 32. Do not wish to opt for surgery and do not tolerate opiods well (very constipating)

sir back pain is a complaint seen in majority of population . you need to worry when there are warning signs like urinary or bowel disturbances or sensation disturbance or weakness or pain not coming down even after 3 weeks of rest,
my advice is if there are no warning signs give a nice hot water fomentation rest by keeping pillow under legs, and doing backstrenghtening exercises.
you will get better if you do the physio, analgesics only if pain is worse
