CBD oil for pain

Posted by timfitz @timfitz, Jul 19, 2016

After trying opiates, and lyrica, and mostly just suffering I tried sublingual CBD which is from the marijuana plant, but has no THC in it, you don't get high. It was very very effective. Not only did it reduce my pain at least 75%, it has a calming effect on the anxiety produced in those of us with chronic pain by the fact we have it. I do recommend it.... Be sure it is from a reliable source. You don't need to smoke anything or get high.

Hi, This gives me some hope as my pain specialist has now prescribed CBD oil (no THC). The pharmacy has now ordered it in so I should be starting it soon.

Looks like you get a prescription for CBD oil? Is that true?

I have had some luck using CBD lotion and topical CBD oil for back pain. Doesn't wipe it out, but it does knock it down a few notches so I can function better. I also sometimes use Biofreeze or lidocaine or Maty's natural chest rub. Your results might vary. Good luck!

CBD salve/lotion does help me, but only in a very high dose. 1000mg or more if you can find it.
If you are fortunate to live in a open-minded state where cannabis products are legal, there should be no problem in finding a store or an online source.
As wolfplanetzero notes, it does not completely get rid of the pain. The over the counter lotions help somewhat. I found a lotion called "Stop Pain" which is a quick roll-on that helps.
If I can say this, the biggest help would be a doctor who is sympathetic, and tries to find the source of your pain, and fixes it, rather than worrying about his next patient!

No prescription is needed for CBD since it contains only a tiny amount of THC and won't get you high. There are also THC-free products. Can be bought online, or at some health food stores and other retailers. A crowded market, so finding the most effective products could be challenging. A bit pricey for the higher concentrations. Good luck!

I love using Innovative CBD, it is organic and no THC. Ingredients are minimal, so you get the full benefits of the CBD.

Thanks - I’m in Australia so oil is on prescription and mine is taken orally. It contains no THC.
