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.

If you google foods that give false positives there are a few things I think

Thank you for sharing. I too use RSO oil cbd concentrated. In Massachusetts that is the more CBD in it so far. It has some THC but in my case is needed. After ten years of my lymp cancer , hundreds of quimos, two bone marrow transplant and 4 years of different GVHD manifestation I end up weigh-in 378, taking around 30 meds a day, oxigen and lots of pain meds. Cbd works for everything. Is the future.

Yes, that is correct. You need THC to activate the CBD. Very good results for two years now.

I'm glad it worked for you. I tried all forms of it and it did absolutely nothing to ease anxiety or pain.

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 .

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.

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":

CBD is legal in all states, and you don’t need a prescription or medical-marijuana card to purchase it. It’s beneficial for innumerous issues, not just pain.

On Facebook, the CBD Oil Users Group is rife with information. It isn’t just opinions; you’ll find a multitude of links to studies, brands to stay away from, brands that are tried-and-true, third-party lab results, etc. If you aren’t on FB, this group is the only reason you need to give it a go.

I take it and it is a silver bullet—yes, there is such a thing!
