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?

Keep in mind the first ones I tried for two months did not help much. The ones with cbd & thc were the ones that helped.

What kind of pain do you have? I'm not sure if anyone on here has the same pain that I have, which is my calf muscles throbbing and spasming after I walk even a few minutes. Do you have that?

I currently use CBD topically which helps. Considering CBD with 0.3% THC gummies. Has anyone used these? What do you think about it for pain control?

CBD in ointment form did little for me. (Regardless of the amount of THC within the CBD). Now that it is winter in New England my "bone on bone" arthritis is acting up. In the daytime, when it gets really bad, I eat a CBD gummie that contains 1500 mg of CBD but a minimal amount of THC. This seems to help keep the pain manageable. At night I swallow one or two gummies that each contain 25 mgs of THC. Works best on an empty stomach.
Sometimes I eat more than 2. Thats when the preliminary "light show" starts up. This is predominately faint fractal designs when looking at a white surface. A few more gummies, each containing 25 mgs of THC sometimes gets as colorful as a moderate dose of mescaline. If I experience any pain with this dose it feels like it is happening to another person, perhaps a character on tv.

The THC gummies that I buy come in a package of 10 for about $70. The ones I use during the day cost roughly $50 - $70 for a jar of 30. I am hoping that if I can lose another 20 pounds I'll be able to cut back on the gummies.(I've lost 50 pounds this year by using Wegovy) I really can't afford to keep spending close to $100 a week for pain relief.

There is a music video from the 1970s that always makes me laugh. It's by the Ramones. Some people may find it a bit rough, but I always put red pepper and black pepper on my pizza!

You need surgery for your back issues. The longer you hold off the worse it gets. I use THC and CBD for breakthrough pain relief but would never depend upon those alone for severe OA pain. I still require a narcotic to make it through the day.
