Caryn, there is a lot to share. I hope you can watch a recording. The various on a theme are extensive. Conclusively, there really is no harm from cannabis.

Hope you get to watch the video.

Cheers,

The slides seem to indicate CBD would work for me but unfortunately that hasn’t panned out with multiple tries. CBD had been amazing for my mysterious swollen lymph nodes but did zero to help PN pain.

Hello @shirleywaxman, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear about your foot pain. Member have shared quite a lot of different things that have provide some relief but it may not work for everyone. You might find it helpful to scan through some of the discussions and comments. Here's a link for some of them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=foot%20pain%20what%20helps.

Do you mind sharing a little more about your neuropathy symptoms and diagnosis?

I am fine when I am sitting when I stand my legs ache, When I walk there is nothing I can put on my feet that does not cause nerve pain.

Mine hurt also when I walk on them.
I use salon pas pain patches and they help a little.
I’ve spent a lot on Orthofeet shoes and my feet still hurt.

Thank you I wondered about those shoes.
I am going to have an infusion on Monday , experimental, ordered by my rheumatologist apparently it has helped some people, I am hoping I will be one of those.
