Hello everyone, I live in Western Australia. CBD oil is strictly managed here, and can only be dispensed by certain doctors. I had a back fusion 4 years ago on L4?L5. Unfortunately the surgeon chipped a bone which pierced my L5 nerve. I had another surgery 3 days after the first one for the surgeon to rumage around and found the chipped piece of bone. Since then I have had nerve pain running down my left leg ending in sharp shooting pain in parts on my foot. Another surgery 2 years after the first (by a different doctor) said the first surgery was a botch, and I had terrible scar tissue happening and there is nothing to be done but manage the pain. I am under the care of a very good pain specialist. I am on Physeptone 15mg per day, 250mg of Lyrica as well, plus Celebrex for arthritis. This manages the pain fairly well, then every 5 months I have pain injections which really help for about 2 months. Yes, I have tried different strengths of CBD oil, but does not help me. My advice to anyone with chronic pain is find a good pain specialist! I also trialed a Neural nerve stimulator which did not work. Every time after injections I cut back a tiny bit on Lyrica and the Methodone (Physeptone) but it never lasts. So my advice, is try things BUT only on the advice of a good pain specialist. Eat well, and exercise as much as you can.
