I checked the my file, insurance and Dr. bills. Carpal Tunnel Surgery is the only description I have. I would wake up at night around 3 with the numbness and pain. He described it as simple surgery, in and out.
Good luck, Mike

Basically for me it was very basic. Iwasreally disappointed. If you now nothing about marijuana it would be great for someone new. They still have it on the peripheral website. I was expecting more information for example what types of marijuana help the best. I have heard people use white widow and Rick Simpson oil. Rick Simpson oil is used with people who have seizures. As a retired RN there is so much out there you can read upon them by googling what marijuana is good for neuropathy. I have googled read up on a a lot of information I personally if I did it I would make my own edibles due to all the chemicals mixed in with edibles (butane really gas) no thanks.

@wolfie1

The ones Mitten Extract from MI are 20 mg THC and 8 mg CBD per piece. The LA Harvest ones from WI are 20 mg THC per piece, the Wild Canna from CO have 10 mg THC and 5 mg CBD, I have both with and without Indica (for sleep). Let me know if you need anything else. Good luck.

I have tried 10 mgs thc and 10 mgs cbd in half. I add more after two hours. The higher you go the more likely you will hallucinate if you are new to cannabis. I buy 10/10 this time I bought 5mgs cbd/5 cbn/ and 1 mg thc. I slept all night on this I bought it in CA.

I’m glad you found the right mix! I have been using gummies for over a year, I don’t know why these two new ones are causing hallucinations! I’m only eating @2/3 mg. I’m trying to get more from MI…

There's a new study out that says marijuana is more effective than pharmaceuticals for chronic pain, including neuropathy. You can read about the study here: https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/medical-marijuana-outperforms-prescription-drugs-for-chronic-pain

My experience with using marijuana for my lumbar spinal stenosis....I grow my own plant (I live in B.C.!) and as neither of us smoke, I extract the bud in coconut oil. I was taking some every night but the fat upset me, so now I make rice krispie bars. I use only known varieties, and my favourite is Dutch Treat from Crop King. It is 8% CBD and 4% THC. I tried a variety that is 21% CBD and just 1/2% THC. It didn't work at all! I had to bum some straight THC from a friend and add it to my bud. I've been too cautious with using the marijuana, but as my pain is increasing, I'm experimenting with taking more at night. I'd like to hear from others who have used different strains for chronic pain, and their experiences.
