Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?

Posted by Donald @donfeld, Jun 8, 2020

THC or marijuana for me relieves pain from neuropathy. It works every time takes a few minutes and a few puffs of smoke and it comes it down for some crazy reason that makes this drug so popular.

I have found Lyrica helpful, especially in combo with Tramadol.

HMMMMM! Good to know! I keep hearing this!
My USCG license expires in June 2023, I will need to begin renewal process very soon...I have had unbearable numbness in my left hand from cervical radicliopathy (diagnosed over 12 yrs ago) that has come back with a vengeance for the last two months! It is at its worst after two - four hours of sleep, it wakes me up and the only (partial) relief is to get vertical! (obviously, not enough sleep!!)
I hear CBD can also help with sleep!!
I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, and lost one inch of height. I am currently in physical therapy, and have a rigorous at home exercise program, but it is not helping...
The thought of MRI, nerve block, (surgery??) UGH, not going there!

I was given a plate of home made CBD cookies yesterday! It's so tempting!
Unfortunately, Federal laws don't agree with local customs!!
Thank you for posting the benefits of CBD, you're making my choices clearer!
It just might be time to RETIRE!!

In the afternoon my pain usually starts to tingling and my feet feel cold. Adding warmth doesn't help but I start with Voltaren gel which helps a little for a while. Unfortunately, the pain sneaks up on me and b y dinner's end my toes are in excruciatingly pain. I put more Voltaren gel, take Robinorol, take Tramadol and gently wrap my feet in a warming pad. The evening and night are the worst. I often have to take more Tramadol and sleep med. In the morning my toes are warm and pain free. For a few hours I can forget about my feet.

My new Doctor prescribed me Amitriptyline for my neuropathy in my ulnar nerve ( due to shingles) after using gabapentin for 8 years. It has finally given me more relief from the constant burning.

I agree that the THC works, not the CBD , but you just have to be careful with the amount taken unless you like the high!!!

Sabrina, my Dr also told me to try(Vitamin) Alpha Lipoic acid 600 mg 2 daily per day. In fact, I am waiting for my shipment today. I have also found that sleeping with socks helps keep my feet warm and I have seen improvement during the day. I hope that these suggestions may help you get through the day better. Good luck, Jack

Someone on this Mayo Clinic too,d me about a lotion called Life Flo. I never found it at Walmart so I ordered it online. The best stuff ever. It is a thick magnesium lotion, so it only takes a little. Rub it in good and it stops the pain immediately. It lasts 4-6 hours. He also told me about Frankencense and Myrrh. You might good them for where you can find them, I will not run out. I call it liquid gold. I rub it on every pain I have. I LOVE it. Good Luck.

So what custom would stop you from eating the cookies? I think you should try maybe half. If you feel ok and maybe it helps your discomfort, then it is a medical help.
