Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

I have the burning hands neuropathy as well. It can be burning ice or burning heat and can get real bad. I have it 24/7. So, I have been using wool gloves with cutout for fingers for about 2 years now. They are the most helpful thing I can do. They are probably worth 2 levels of pain reduction most of the time if you get the right gloves. I would recommend them to anyone with burning hand neuropathy. Also, when the burning is unbearable, I have some cheaper thin wool open finger gloves I will dampen, and then hold ice packs or anything else frozen in the damp gloves which helps cool my hands back down. I have also found one brand of CBD full spectrum gummy that helps. It has CBD plus a small amount of Delta 9 THC. One of the 25 mg gummies is enough for me. If I take two I get stoned, but I guess I am low tolerance. So I only take the one.

I haven't had what you have but I have burning sensation s from fibro and a burning feeling inside my body. Come to find out I have too much inflammation in my body. I stopped sugar, gluten, dairy products and use no chemicals that I'm aware of. Medication only covers up symptoms and so I gave up on meds. Of course it depends on your health and what your capable of not using. I push myself to exercise and the next day I feel better. I've had Fibro and chronic fatigue for 35 years. My chronic fatigue is so much better. I take a b12 complex everyday and many other supplements. I was on pain pills for 22 years and quit those 5 years ago. After going off them I had so much pain so I went to a pain counselor and was taught how to shut your brain down regarding pain. It took me 2 years to feel normal again after stopping pain pills. It seems half my life I have fought to get better because the Drs could only have time for me in an hour once a month. They just wanted to cover up the issue. We have to keep looking for natural cures and be advocates for ourselves. Good luck
