Hi @ujeeniack,
In my opinion, members of Connect are having an intelligent conversation about pain medication options -- what works for each person and what doesn't. Medical marijuana and CBD are discussed as potential options, along with more standard options. As new options such as marijuana, CBD or manufactured drugs come to market, they are explored, questioned, researched and discussed. No one is claiming that marijuana is the panacea or the answer to everyone's pain management. Members are questioning and educating themselves in order to have well-informed conversations with their care providers.

Jack, may I recommend that you not write in ALL CAPS? We discourage the use of all caps because they are considered shouting in online communications. You can read more about online etiquette in our Community Guidelines https://connect.mayoclinic.org/community-guidelines/

LOOK AT NEUROLOGY NOW AND NEUROLOGY TODAY FOR RELEVBANT ARTICLES, SUCH<br>AS *CHIARI FORMATION AND SYRINX FOR IDIOPATHIC *<br>*PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY.*<br>

After my visit with the pain specialist on Monday, I stopped taking Morphine sulfate contin, and am supposed to take Oxycodone for a few days as part of the tapering off process. Now my feet hurt all the time. I really want to figure out if Cymbalta will do the job for me, and I'm planning to go without morphine sulfate for a few weeks. The doctor did say that I could start back on the morphine if the pain becomes too much. I understand the effects of long term use of opioids. They're not good. But Cymbalta was the last medication left on the list, and there's not much more that can be done. Kind of discouraging.

Hi, how you tried neurotic, same as gabpentin. It work for the burning, tingling and pain I have in my feet.<br><br>

I believe you mean Neurontin??

If it's on the list of neuropathy meds, I tried it.

Your post sent me looking for neurotonic. I found some interesting things: 1. a web site http://www.examine.com gathers studies of supplements, etc that have some scientific basis, 2. neurotonic is a supplement, and 3. it has an ingredient that is from lion's main mushroom. Examine lists 2 or 3 studies that are VERY limited in showing nerve regrowth.

Thank you for the link @bobe! Looks like a good reference site for additional info.
