Good afternoon Skip. I understand why you might want to see if medical cannabis might be helpful. Living in Texas is a problem because it is the most restricted state. Are you familiar with the legal restrictions? There may be an opportunity under a qualifying statement that folks with nerve-related conditions are eligible to receive medical use approval.
Usually, you find medical cannabis at a state-approved dispensary. In Texas, you are also limited to products based on the type and quantity of the plant. You can have the benefit of THC if it is Delta 8 THC in which CBD has been converted with specialized catalysts.
You probably already know the options available to you and the research that might be helpful.
Here is what I found online about how to select a by-mail company.
"You need to examine the third-party lab reports; check for the product’s potency and see if it’s not contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, or bleaches; then you have hundreds of user reviews to read through, not to mention the company’s website to learn as much as possible about its manufacturing and testing practices."
Does this information help answer your question about where you get medical cannabis?
Let me know, please.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.

The best online company for all CBD products (in my opinion) is in Austin Texas. The name is HOMETOWN HERO. They have a lot of videos in which they show the entire process, from growing the evil weed to processing it into varied products.
I learned a lot from their website. I smoked marijuana from the late 1960s to the start of 1982. (I started a new job.) A lot has happened to me from then to now, with the biggest problem being my shot knees. During the winter I am in terrible pain and need a cane to get around. During warmer months I'm still in pain but able to walk short distances without the cane. I have no desire to smoke anything these days, but Dec of 2022 the pain sent me searching for a CBD product that was effective.
Nothing sold in smoke shops seemed to do anything. After blowing 1,000 dollars I started looking online. By March I had discovered HOMETOWN HERO and right from the start I knew that I'd be a regular customer. I prefer the gummies to the other items.
If you want to reach oblivion try the CBD Delta 9 with THC. I've learned that most customers cut each gummie into quarters. I don't. I only use it at night to go to sleep. I watch some tv as it is coming on, and at times (when taken on an empty stomach) my 32 " Samsung becomes 3-D. When I realize that I've reached that point I simply go to bed - and sleep comes quickly.
Rebecca. You are ingesting 2.5 mg? Last year I determined that most of the professional studies of CBD and pain considered 20mgs the starting dose. I take 25mg of Delta 9 with THC. But I weigh 230 pounds. Perhaps you should try CBD Delta 8. It is better than straight CBD for pain and you won't feel like you're on a psychedelic. No rainbows on white surfaces, no getting fixated on anything in the environment. Certainly you won't hear angels talking or see the face of God. (You see, a strong enough dose of THC mimics some of the effects of LSD)
Anyway, best wishes to everyone.
