Does Medical marijuana work for chronic pain. Looking for alternatives to Vicodin.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

I use THC/CBD 1:1 25mg/25mg tincture 3x daily for breakthrough pain instead of oxycodone. My main pain control is buprenorphine patches and you can read about it here. I have spinal OA, spinal stenosis and peripheral neuropathy.

Please explain why you worry about Voltaron It is sold over the counter, and my physician advised that I mix it with what is straight CBD oil as a topical where I have arthritic pain as well as residual pain from shingles..

I am allergic to any nsaids esp aspirin. I get the same reactions from external use of any nsaids.
Irregardless of what a doctor tells you. Everyone is different and doctors tend to go with manufactured medicine rather than my natural.

That’s why there are homeopathic doctors available too. I too cannot take NSAIDs due to their action on my blood pressure meds. I have spinal OA, chronic pain syndrome and PN and take no antiinflammatory drugs.
