How do you cope with chronic pain?

Hi, I am new to this support blog due to my 2nd cancer I just was diagnosed with. I have been a pain patient due to a separate condition of severe neuropathy and Charcot feet. I started using OxyContin about 10 years ago. As my pain increased, I reached a point of where I didn’t want to increase my Oxy intake above the 20 mg/3 hour I was at. I also take Gabapentin 300 mg/ 6 pills/day and Celebrex 200 mg twice a day, but the pain was still too much. I started experimenting with thc/cbd to try and help with the pain from advice I got from my doctor and another friend. I did get a medical marijuana card to help reduce the costs. What works for me is to drink a thc/cbd drink all day long. I got there after experimenting with gummies, vapes, and smoke. The thc drinks ended up what works best for me for reducing pain and not getting stoned. I don’t want to be stoned going through life and starting out slow, It worked and continues to work in reducing my pain when combined with the other medications I am taking. I have not increased my OxyContin intake for 3 years. For nighttime, when my pain is the worst, I started taking thc/ CBN gummies. The gummies have been very effective in helping me sleep through the night. I do also take Trazadone 100 mg at night to assist with the gummies. I have had to increase the amount of gummies I take at night as time passes and my tolerance increased. This has worked for me for a few years now and maybe it can help you with your pain management. My pain never goes away, it’s getting it at a level that I could continue to work and to sleep better than I had before. I hope this helps.

Consider switching to tincture so you can regulate your THC or CBD doses more easily than a gummy.
