Has anyone used CBD oil for chronic pain? And do you have results?

Posted by rensacb @rensacb, Jan 22, 2019

I'm a chronic pain suffer of 35+ years. Scoliosis is the culprit. Not a disfiguring curve but non the less painfully destructive. Almost every disc is bulging from 3mm to 6mm. I've had 2 spinal fusion. C 3-7 and L 4-5. Have 4 nerve root impengements with spondylosis in some areas and stenosis at interval from neck to sacral. Take steroid shots when I can with positive results for a few weeks. Always have Norco 5mg/325 ready if needed. Unfortunately I have found the best way to keep pain down is to lie down. So most of my days are spent on my bed. Any suggestions?

You can also buy it online, just search. I don't think you need script for CBD. Try calling a stors

Not sure if this is exactly the same situation, but I have spinal stenosis in my thoracic spine which causes a sick ache. Nothing like NSAIDs or patches even begin to touch the pain. Finally, a friend recommended CBD oil. I took it at night and my pain was gone! It does take few weeks to work.

I did not know for sure if the oil was the reason for my pain subsiding, so I tried to go without the CBD oil for about a couple of weeks. The pain returned. When I started back up on the oil at night, the pain subsided.

I live in California and order high quality47 mg CBD oil online.

I have neck issues and oil did nothing for me. My neck is so tight I need a muscle relaxer.

I get it from Flora Sophia Botanicals 47 mg strength and use one dropper at night as directed. If you end up liking it, they have frequent price reductions. I hope it helps you too. It takes a few weeks to kick in.

I went to my neurologist for a few shots in my neck and shoulder. Helped

What kind if shots? If it works well, keep on!
I have had epidurals which relieved so much pain in my neck and lower back. Now I am doing blocks on facet joints C23 and C56 as a diagnostic, as I cant find relief. I already have fusions at C34,C45,& 56 for facet issues.
I did not have a diagnosis for facet issues until I had a "FLEXION X-RAY". i HAD TO GO TO Bridgeport in Tualatin OR to finally see what is going on when I MOVE my neck, if you do this, get 6 Views, docs normally order just 4 views. I'm sure there is something in your area

Does the CBD oil have a smell to it where others would notice the smell?

I too have multiple fusions (C3-T1 & L2-S1). I visit a pain mgmt. doc for epidural injections, take Gabapentin (600mg 2x/day), Diclofenac Pot. 50mg (2x/day), Cymbalta (90mg/day)... & still always need to deal with pain & neuropathy.

I'm in day 4 of dosing CBD (I'm currently at 1mg oil (around 10mg CBD) 2X/day. I believe I'm feeling better in my lumbar (cervical spine isn't sore, just lacks ROM), I'm hoping it's not placebo effect!

I've decarboxylated & infused my own CBD (what a pain!!!), I've tried commercial oils, but it's just so dad-blasted expensive! I believe that I never gave myself enough because of the cost.

It's believed (by me & the pain mgmt Doc) that I'm having problems with adjacent Segment Disease, at L1 & my SI Joints. Injections in both SI joints & T12-L1 have helped greatly.
