I have chronic pain with spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia - diagnoses made 25 years ago at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla , CA. I have just come across information on CBD ,however, the information is very conflicting from one website to another; I would like to know where to get accurate information and if it is recommended what manufacturers are reliable sources .

Welcome to Connect, @myquest. While we wait for fellow Connect members to share their insights, I thought you might wish to read these journal studies about CBD and pain management:
– https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317221.php
– https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5645627/
I'd also like to tag Mentors @jimhd @johnbishop; would you have more information for @myquest?
Hello @myquest, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @kanaazpereira and other Connect members. I have not used CBD oil or other forms for my small fiber peripheral neuropathy since I only have the numbness and don't have any pain associated with it. I've listened to a speaker at the Minnesota Neuropathy Association talk about CBD used for chronic pain management but it's not readily available here in Minnesota. You have to get on the states approved list and then work with your doctor and a compounding pharmacist to get it.
I would like to tag another member who I think uses CBD and may know reliable sources in California - @artscaping are you able to provide any information on CBD use?
@myquest have you discussed the use of CBD with your doctors or chronic pain management doctor? They should be able to provide some reliable sources. Another good source of information when doing your own research is Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/). You can find links to research papers, articles and more and sort the links by date for the latest ones. Here is an example of using it to search for "cbd oil for pain":

It is well explained in the pinned posts in the FB pages “CBD Oil Users Group” and CBD Oil and Fibromyalgia.” I am so sorry I hadn’t learned about it years ago.
