CBD oil for pain
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.

Canada, I also have a medical persciption .
Is there a secret to vape pens? I have never used one before and I'm not sure that I am getting it to work correctly.
Most work like this. Lightly push the button 5 times in rapid succession to turn it on or off. Tap it twice to pre-heat it. It will flash until it is ready to go. Then hold down the button while you inhale. turn it off when you are done. If you are new to THC or to vape pens go slow, start easy or you will get too high and be frightened. That happened to me and I smoked pot for 40 years. Most pens have three setting described as 3 different voltages. Start with the lowest one. I've seen a pen with a twist button on one end to adjust the strength. I've seen another that after you turn it on, you tap the button 3 times to change the setting. The light color then changes. You repeat the three taps to increase it again and 3 more taps will bring you back to the low setting. Green, low, blue medium, red, blow your brains out. Your pen should have come in a box with these instructions. good luck
It's thought that CBD oil might help ease chronic pain in part by reducing inflammation. In addition, CBD oil is said to promote sounder sleep and, in turn, treat sleep disruption commonly experienced by people with chronic pain.
I haven’t been on this site for awhile. I have had 3 back surgeries and 3 compression fractures within the past 3 years. I have had moderate chronic pain in my lower back. I started using CBD last Sept. I use the tincture but don’t hold it under my tongue very long. The rule is start low and go slow. I started at 1 dropper (0.8 ml) of 1000m/30 ml strength. Increase no more often than weekly. I take mine, currently about 50 mg per dose every 4 hours while awake. It took awhile but my pain decreased by 50%. People quit early but need to keep increasing the dose for relief. I’m a retired hospice nurse and volunteer once a week and golf twice a week. Not great but much better. I did get my MM license but have not been able to find a product concentrated enough and would have to drink a half bottle. Good luck. - Margit
How much are you spending a month to maintain this dosage level?
@wsh66 My pain Dr. gave me literature about the spine stimulator If I remember right you have one is it still working alright?
Is this similar to a tens machine ?
No I actually have a pump inserted in my belly with a catheter that runs up my spine leaking tiny amounts of Dilaudid directly onto the nerves. I get between 4 and 5 mg per 24 hours and that has the effect of taking orally 1200 to 1500 mg of Dilaudid which is enough To Kill A Band full of junkies if you actually put that much in your body. My pump still works very well three years, another two years I'll have to have it replaced. I did not respond well to the spine stimulator to the pain Folks at mhealth decided I should have the pump the only inconvenience is going down there every 3 months to have the old medication removed and the new medication put in. There is no better solution than the pump.I
@wsh66 Oh I remember now I'm just reading the information now waiting for my referral to come Dr has a lecture coming up about it I,ll ask ? then thanks for the reply
