Medical marijuana vape for pain relief from Peripheral Neuropathy?

Posted by Steve @stevebern, Jul 31, 2022

Hello,

Does anyone here use a vape cartridge for pain relief? My feet hurt all the time, not terrible in the morning but by evening they scream at me. I find that a single puff makes all the pain and worry all go away for about 90 minutes, then I fall asleep. I only use it at night, and have tried not doing it two nights in a row, but as the pain gets worse I have used it two nights in a row, and last night was the first time I had it three nights in a row.

I’m concerned about my body getting used to it, and that it will stop working. I’m 58, in great health, and want to know I will have this relief for many years.

I guess the question is, if I use it too much now, will I lose it later, when it will probably be so much worse?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I have have found that one THC gummy (20%) a half hour before bed helps relieve the pain and cramping enough to allow me get to sleep. I know everyone is different but it might be worth a try if you can't smoke or vape.

Were you using an indica. It’s funny I do not know if you are him but there is a marijuana shop called marijuana man online. Living in Texas I seriously doubt it will be legal for medical use any time soon. Looking at moving to Colorado.

@artemis1886 try ordering gummies from FiveCBD or CBD Marketplace.com for gummies that are 5mg or 2mg THC and CBD 100 or 200mg but Delta 8 hemp plants which is not regulated by FDA.

I’m in Jacksonville. Have Pudendal Nerve Nauralgia.
To tell you the truth I had never heard of it and am finding out that it is an absolute nightmare to live with.
Can’t wear pants!!
Looking for some relief, especially at night.

I just received some from Blue Moon Hemp. First night was great.
Maybe that was a coincidence, will know more by the end of the week.

I just got back from seeing my doctor (GP). It has been 3 months of difficult pain. He wants me to up my dose of Gabapentin from 300mg morning and 600 mg at bedtime to 300mg morning and 1200 mg at bedtime. I know that is not much but up till now I have been using THC to get pain relief. Being new to this, I wonder if I should up the dose. ( It has been about 11 days since I started Gabapentin), so it might not be active yet.? What do you think is best....wait, or take more now?

@pacodennis I was on gabapentin for about 10 years until I was asked to try Lyrica for a different condition -

Wow. Lyrica gives significant pain relief... Without the 'buzz'. I enjoyed the relaxing side effects from gabapentin for the longest time, but beyond 1800mg it seemed to cause almost as much fuzzy neuropathy as the painful neuropathy it replaced. Still better than pain And more sustainable then opiates for me at least. If lyrica came out first I bet it wouldn't even be a controlled 5 substance whereas gabapentin would be at least a level 5 IMHO.

I have a feeling that you know very well the answer to your question.
No one can predict the future. Your body is ever changing.
Be positive, work with what you have, keep your ears open, explore all possibilities, talk to people who use medicinal pot.
Worth investigating.
