Comments about CBD and/or THC for neuropathy pain and paresthesia?
Anyone tried CBD topically or THC gummies or anything on that order for the burning radiating pain of neuropathy? Also has anyone had a neurologist suggest this as a potential therapy? I will ask my own neurologist but wanted some broader input in the meantime. Success anyone? My family thinks this should be considered. I have tried various topical and oral prescribed medications with little success so far. Thanks for any comments.

I use a 1:1 CBD to THC ointment which I apply on my feet at nightly. It greatly relaxes my feet and helps me to sleep. Fortunately, I live in a state which allows one to get medical CBD and THC.

1 ReactionI’ve used CBD with low THC for years for pain and sleep with great success. Trying to learn more. I find it good to consider vs. some western traditional meds that have terrible side affects. Be cautious about quality of cannabis, who grows, produces and sells so products are safe and pure as possible. Suggest reading books about cannabis and research and starting slowly.
I buy gummies that are CBD/THC from Lazerus Naturals. 50mg. CBD/2 mg THC. I have to cut a gummy in half as a whole one makes me "stoned." I'm 82, I take half of one at night and I sleep well.
I have L5-S1 spinal stenosis as well as sacroiliac left leg neuropathy. Had neuropathy in both legs and could barely walk. Had l2-3 disc herniation repair and walking but gave me permanent left leg and without meds, right leg pain. Am on Lyrica 75mg 3x day but hate it Balance off, gained weight, brain fog and swelling all side effects. Waiting to try Tamoxifen to get off Lyrica. When I did try to go off I used 750 cbd, 1 thc and slept 5 hrs. Guess I could try higher dose mail order gummies from Simply Crafted in MN. Any suggestions on if anyone tried Topiramate appreciated .
