I have tried the medical marijuana it intensifies my numbness no relief from the burning. I’m now in the fourth treatment of PEMF therapy and have been on a vitamin and supplement regimen for about a month. My neurologist and Dr latov of Cornell medicine put me on the treatment with lyrica gabetin cymbalta I was on 1800 MG of gabetin that did nothing. I was on 600 MG of lyrica that did nothing and 30 MG of cymbalta and 35 MG of amptrypilline and nothing has calmed the burning pain. I just started tramodol which has helped take the edge off a little. I have had mri of my brain neck back and yesterday I had one of my lower lumbar done.

I'm sorry u haven't found any relief.
Did you try more than one type/ratio of medical marijuana? I have read so many times the high CBD is best for neuropathy. I did not find that true for myself. The mix w THC:CBD has helped significantly. Mind you, I still can't do much w my hands as everything inflames my hands &feet.
Ive tried those meds, very bad side effects for me.
I do use tramadol daily, 50mg x3-5daily I've had 3 spinal surgeries and have DDD. If the tramadol helps, it comes in extended relief, which you can ask your MD about.
Ive cut down on tramadol but do need it daily even w marijuana.
I hope u find better relief.
Claire
