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?

If you buy from Flora Sophia, like @delcasa did, there is a taste, but very little smell. I don't believe anyone would notice it.

I take unflavored and have not noticed any smell. Hope it helps.

I used CBD cream for arthritis in my hands. I alternated days with Volatran. It was 500 mg and $30! No THC. Now, the Natural Grocers have taken most CBD products off the shelf because most have THC.

It’s a shame as CBD oil works for pain.!

I use the sublingual drops, but do NOT put under my tongue. Instead I rub it on my ankle (which has severe Osteoarthritis). It works great.

I'll have to try it on my knee, it does not do anything under the tongue.

I do not find that it works for pain at all.

I have leg sciatica pain and arthritis in my lower back. I use C B D and THC oil and capsules I also lay down a lot . Don’t like hemp as the cannabis is much better.I am looking forward to using topicals soon

I had my fusion L4-S1 with laminectomy in 1990 after a fall down stairs. I now have chronic pain syndrome, PN lower extremities, chronic scoliosis and use buprenorphine patches as my main pain control and I was using 6 Percocet a day for breakthrough pain. Instead I’m using cannabis tincture THC 15mg 4x day, CBD 100mg 4x day and I micro-dose THC by vaping periodically and I no longer require Percocet for breakthrough pain. I walk 2 miles a day and do my HEP 2x day.

In reply to @jonc59 "I too have multiple fusions (C3-T1 & L2-S1). I visit a pain mgmt. doc for epidural..." + (show)

@jonc59 I take 100mg CBD and 15mg THC 4x day to relieve my breakthrough pain. My tincture bottle contains 6,000mg /60cc CBD and 1cc=100mg $89.00. You should consider increasing your dosing if you’re able. I decarboxylate too using a mason jar in the oven and I have no mess or smells using this method. I do not infuse nor would I care too.
