Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (700)Comment receiving replies
Hi, I just developed neuropathy in my fingers and my feet and toes, I have chronic neck and lower back pain from 8 compressed discs, radioculopathy, sciatica and the restless leg syndrome that I've had on and off for 4 years has come back and is excruciating. Gabapentin and Prampexiole gave me chest pain. I haven't used marijuana in such a long time. I don't like smoking it or the vape. It hurts my chest. I need something for acute pain. What is the name of the combination of the CBD/ THC you mentioned? I would like to try that. I am very open to using edibles. I live in CA.

Good afternoon Evie, @archermac15. Oh my dear, you are attempting to control some traumatic body issues. Let me see if I understand what you are asking. You want to know the range of dosage mixes I use and why that and why then???? Correct? Before we go there...I do want to say that edibles are fun.....however they can be inconsistent. Medical cannabis products that work for me are CBD and THC in order to achieve the entourage effect and support my activities. I use only tinctures and topicals.
In the a.m. I always start with 1:1 CBD/THC for some "get up and go". I may use another dose in the afternoon depending on what I am doing. With SFN, small fiber neuropathy, I fatigue easily so may need another 1:1 CBD/THC. Or I use a 2:1 CBD/THC for a calm evening. Bedtime is always a 2:1 CBD/THC with the amount depending upon the hours between bedtime and wake-up time.
Do you mind sharing where you live in CA? I may have a referral or two. My daughter and granddaughters live there. Please stay away from street drugs. The advantage of legalization is to ensure the products meet production regulations.
Has your neuropathy been confirmed with a skin biopsy?
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
