CBD oil for pain

Does your topical CBD have Lidocaine in it? If so, how can you tell what results you get from CBD and what you get from the topical anesthetic?

I've been participating in these Chats on pain and other issues for a couple of years and something important occurs to me. Especially when you're dealing with pain combined with depression and anxiety it is going to be almost impossible to know if a new product is having a positive effect a negative effect or no effect at all. Pain depression and anxiety all come and go with their frequency and their intensity. I can tell you this, anxiety and depression will greatly increase the intensity with which you experience pain, probably a lot more than any single thing you add to your regiment like CBD or lidocaine or other topical medications. I know this kind of sucks because it makes it really hard to decide what to do. What I have found that works is the number one deal with my depression, I use antidepressants and talk therapy and last but not least bibliotherapy. Read the book Feeling Good, read The Four Agreements. Evaluating the effects of other drugs or supplements to deal with pain before you have adequately dealt with your depression and your anxiety is a Fool's errand. I don't know much about CBD and I'm hoping to learn more. I do know from years of smoking pot that it doesn't make your pain Less in fact it may intensify your pain and it does not make your anxiety less and in fact in almost everyone who smokes it especially if they don't smoke it everyday and they're used to it it increases one's paranoia and anxiety. This is nothing new, we've known this since our generation started smoking pot in the 60s. It would appear from what I'm reading that non THC forms of cannabis do have a positive effect on pain. Fortunately if you listen to Science Friday on NPR you may have heard about a group of people who are synthesizing THC from sugar I have accomplished this by genetically altering yeast to do the work for them. There are a number of components in cannabis which occur in such small quantities that no one really knows what they do and they may turn out to be very beneficial and this group is working on synthesizing THC and THC 9 containing cannabinoids that will focus on these lesser-known aspects of cannabinoids. CBD is being pushed heavily by everyone who doesn't want to give you narcotics. Remember this. America's problem with addiction it's not primarily centered on doctor prescribed opioids it is centered on methamphetamine and heroin from Mexico. Your government could control these with further efforts and further pressure on the countries that manufacture the sudafedrin to allow the Mexicans to make all the meth that they bring into America. A wall will not stop these drugs they are not carried in on mules they are transported by any number of means. They are not hand carried across the border, no immigrants are bringing pallets with for 55 gallon drums of pseudoephedrine into California as the ones that were found their seven years ago which originated in the Ukraine. if you're old like me and you're going to be in pain for the rest of your life the only thing you can do that's really going to work for you is to find a good pain clinic with a good neurosurgeon who will implant a pain pump in your abdomen and run a catheter up your spine and deliver you three to four milligrams of Dilaudid or a similar drug per day which will eliminate about 50% of your pain. Those first three mg you get along with the two that you can give yourself will give you an effective dose of 700 mg to 800 mg of morphine every day. I've seized drugs did not pass through your stomach there are no side effects in terms of constipation. The liquid is mixed directly into your spinal fluid and goes directly onto the base of the nerves which run throughout your body. It will not make you Dopey it will not make you sick to your stomach it will not make you constipated. I'm 4 years into this program and I haven't thought about eating my shotgun since 2015 before I got my pump. Marijuana's a lot of fun and it feels great but it's not going to be the be-all and end-all for medicine. Modern medicine for all the bad rap it takes especially for my own generation is still pretty damn good stuff. it's saved my life when I had a rare sarcoma and it's made my life bearable after my spine is crushed and collapsed under wear and tear scoliosis osteoarthritis and any number of other conditions that have left me pretty much disabled. If you want to know more about pain pumps, do a search under wsh66. Good luck, love and blessings.

I use a tincture that I take by mouth, no lidocaine. It has very minimal THC content, though the oil is labeled full spectrum. I don't want to feel high regardless of pain. I have to drive myself to my local appointments and prefer to be very aware. I was able to increase activity after starting it. I can ride my stationary bike much longer.

Caution if you use blood thinners. Ask your doctor.

One dropper is not enough try three couple times a day and GIVE IT 6 weeks or so before you REALLY KNOW IT DOES WORK ! But read everything you can on cbd oil and try other brands ! But the cbd with the Turpins ! Green taste is good it will get you used to it under tongue hold about a minute or so to go
To blood stream. Eating or drinking or capsules has to go threw the stomache acids first it’s not as effective. Trust the cbd does work just takes time and Donot keep using pain meds while using cbd oil because it interrupts the cellular workings to work in body correctly ! If your in severe pain hold off the narcotic pain meds because cbd will work!

Chilly Willy, reading your piece and noting the grammar and punctuation, methinks you might be using a little bit more of the plant than you are letting on. This is almost unreadable. Please bear in mind that this forum is for relating what you have done and what you have had success with or what didn't work. It is not intended advising or instructing others about what they should do or how to use drugs of any kind. Your advice to not take narcotic pills can be very dangerous for a person who has been on large doses for an extended period of time. I doubt that the CBD oil will do anything for the symptoms of withdrawal which they might experience by stopping suddenly. Withdrawal can be quite serious and even fatal. A person should never stop taking opiodes without first consulting their doctor about how gradually they should reduce their dosage. I would imagine that their Doctor, who would probably apluad their desire to find substitute for narcotics, would have them start the CBS oil and then follow a gradual reduction schedule, thus avoiding both withdrawal as well as needless days of suffering.

What kind do you use

@dawn123 I tried different kinds finally found CBD from New Leaf Natural I like A dropper full in my tea and capsule later on I don't have to take pain pills It's just the cannabis no thc

I have thought of that for a very long time...As I want to be off of the opiates that I am on(Tramadol in two forms...one with 'Tylenol and one that is 100 mg and is extended release. My reason for not trying yet, is that I don't know how one would one know the correct place to purchase it from,since it isn't regulated. How did you come by the correct place to purchase it. ? Also, if one dose purchase from the correct seller and you have been on opiates for a very long time...How do you regulate going off of the opiates? Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer the advice.

Stephen, you are so correct. That is the primary reason I haven't yet tried the CBD. I wouldn't, for the sake of perhaps having an iinteraction, not take the CBD while taking my current pain opiates.....and then knowing I couldn't just stop my pain meds that I have been on for eons. When I asked my Pain Management Dr. about CBD oil, she acted as though she had yet to hear about it. LOL
