Alternatives for pain management

Posted by grandmaR @grandmar, Mar 31, 2018

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone tried cryo therapy or medical marijuana for pain management. If you did, how did they/it work?
Thanks

I get relief from pain by laying out in the high noon sun. The UVB rays that’s only available during that time of the day creates vitamin D3 inside of my skin by the transformation of the cholesterol in the skin. I also take vitamin K2 to keep my blood calcium low to prevent calcification of the arteries and heart. Magnesium is also needed when getting vitamin D. A little zinc and vitamin a also works with D3 and K2 . Remember don’t take K2 with the older blood thinners like warfarin. The newest class of blood thinners can be used safely with vitamin K2. D becomes a hormone that helps relieve pain naturally. But I’m not giving medical advice. Talk to your dr.

Welcome to the Mayo Connect community. I'm a Volunteer Mentor and am not a medical professional and cannot give medical diagnosis or medical solutions to problems. I do offer my experience, knowledge, and support for members of the community. I look forward to getting to know you better.

I am very impressed that you are working to withdraw from your morphine regimen using CBD oil. I have found CBD to be very valuable in my own withdrawal from Tramadol. I agree that you may need to seek a stronger version of CBD:THC since you are on such strong pain medications. Would you be willing to share with us the reason you need pain management? Understanding your situation will help us to be more helpful in our feedback and support of you.
- How long have you needed medication for pain?
- What is your physical situation?
- Do you live in a state where marijuana is legal?
- Is your physician aware that you're using a CBD:THC drug? The reason I ask this is because my physician told me if they drug test me & I ever show marijuana or CBD in my urine, he would stop prescribing other pain drugs and kick me out of the Pain Clinic. That just made me more determined to get off the prescriptions and use only CBD:THC for my pain. I have been successful.

Please help us get to know you better in the near future. You will find acceptance, non judgemental support and lots of ideas as part of Mayo Connect.

Oh goodness, I think you're the brave one. And you've done so so well. I reflected on today about 10 minutes ago with other half, we have to move out of our house to another place to live(provided by our local council) for at least 3 weeks while we get renovations done, so the stress put extra pain on me, when I get stress I get more terrible pain than usual, however because I know I took my day tablet,I won't take my night and will find the right ratio,a bit slower than just now(I'm very impatient), Thankyou.i will certainly take yours and all advice on board as regards slower detox.To all of you in this forum, please know that I'm thinking of you and sending positive thoughts,and gentle hugs to you all. Suffering pain, well it proves we are alive at least, but it's not so nice to live with....

Do you know in the uk we have to have it prescribed by the Dr and ONLY if the dr thinks we need it and on special occasions that we need a good sleep time.
In almost every other country it's sold in pharmacies, shops, health food shops, and even put into babies formula milk to help them sleep. No prescription needed.
We had it prescribed for our child when he was young(4-12 years)- he has adhd,aspergers and sleep issues, it helped immensley with him. If any are subject to hardly an good sleep, i think in the uk we should be able to buy it over the counter as its a natural substance occurring in the brain as you just mentioned. Thankyou

@vibranthope

Hi. I've just joined as I've just started taking the Holland and barratts cbd oil 2.75%.I'm on mst morphine 30mg twice a day,and oramorph 10mg 3x day for breakthrough pain. So I substituted my night time morphine tablet for the oil.i do have to take quite a lot of drops under my tongue(about 6 or 7)But I don't have my night time pain,and I sleep right through the night. only problem is I dream so much but remember the dreams so they must be about 6 hours into not having morphine, so I'm guessing they're withdrawal from not having my last morphine tablet before sleep. So for me(last Xmas I came off 75mcg of fentanyl patches in 4 days,but I had bronchitis and was already ill. I only had 4 horrible nights )it does help,but I am also going to try stop my interim morphine liquid and replace with cbd oil. So for me I would say it works however I need a stronger percentage with my level of chronic pain

If your having leg cramps it means you’re short on electrolytes so you should drink those drinks that has hydration in them . I buy a product that comes in tablets it’s called “ nunn” drop one in 8 oz of water . Or you can buy them already mixed at your grocery store. I used to have them but those drinks stopped it
