Coffee helped reduce pain so I could finally sleep at the beginning of my neuropathy/stenosis pain that hit most intensely at night. I take a couple of cups or coffee now a day in the morning. Over the last 3 years, the after effects of the nerve damage are still here and I need a walker to help my balance, but the pain is less and I have reduced gabapentin intake to 300mg at night with a doctor’s guidance. When the pain was strongest, I thought if that went away, I might deal with the rest of what neuropathy challenges me with more easily. That has been the case. Where coffee continues to fit in, I’m not sure, but it is my welcome wake-up in the morning, and was a friend in those killer pain nights when all this started.
While I feel for your pain and hope you get better soon, smoking pot is not healthy. It damages your lungs, and it can cause mental health issues. Hope you don't drive a car. Please find other ways to lessen your pain to live a productive and safe life. I'm in your corner. Best of luck.
