Pinpoint your medical cannabis needs with Dr. Aggarwal at his AIMS Institute. LESTER BLACK
A few months ago, a woman with chronic facial pain walked into Dr. Sunil Aggarwal’s clinic off Eastlake Avenue in Seattle. The woman was in her mid-50s and had spent the last decade unable to do simple things (like brush her teeth or go to work) without feeling debilitating pain, despite heavy amounts of a prescription drug called gabapentin. After a consultation with Aggarwal, she left with a cannabis supplement.
Two weeks later, she e-mailed Aggarwal a simple response.
“She said, ‘All right, the pain is stopping, it’s done. I brushed my teeth today and there was no pain,'” Aggarwal told me. “It’s so nice to see simple coordination, a simple remedy, for somebody that had almost 10 years of unrelenting nerve pain in the face.”
