Anyone tried topical CBD or THC for neuropathy pain and paresthesia?

Posted by amkie @amkie, May 25, 2024

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 used CBD cream for the chronic pain in my back and it helped. But as my pain level increased it wasn’t strong enough to keep my pain level down. Everyone is different and I wasn’t interested in the THC so I can’t speak to that. Good luck

@cutshaw01 Thanks for your input about CBD. I am getting disparate! Have 1 1/2 jar left. Going to finish them all! Hopefully seeing a Podiatrist this week! Send me good thoughts!

I was prescribed medical cannabis for some pain tolerance, appetite, and sleep. I have been taking gummies with CBD and THC for quite awhile. I have not tried any of the CBD creams, but I have seen zero change with my neuropathy using the gummies but they do help with my appetite and sleep.

I also tried taking Duloxetine for neuropathy and didn't notice any difference.

I did several rounds of acupuncture and it didn't work either.

I have heard that some are having success with Neux (class II medical device) but I haven't looked into it yet.
