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?

Thank you. I ordered some from Medterracbd.com during my lunch break.

I hope it helps you. I take it occasionally now, I had to take one a day for a month before I realized it was helping. I continued for another 4-6 weeks and I feel it really helped.

Yes!!! It’s amazing! I’m very surprised at the number of folks who would rather put pills in their bodies than kick sugar!!!! It’s amazing! I’m down a few pounds but can see the change in my face. My check bones are shaping up! lol!!! Thanks for the carb thought. I’m going to add them to my new diet. My brother and sister in law can’t believe their eyes on the improvement in my walking. They are here for a visit. Keep up the great work!

I cut way down on refined carbs. White bread, crackers, etc. Replaced with unsalted nuts, raw veggies etc

I have used it. There is CBD and CBN. I tried and I did not notice much of an impact with my feet pain. In my state we have just passed legal recreational marjiuana law but we have had medical marjiuana for the past 4 to 5 years. I got my card and at night I used the other stuff, THC. It is in the flower so it can be smoked or in oils, tars, chocolates, and gummies. It helps my body rest and I don't feel so much pain. I also use menthol rubs in the morning and night. I also tried a therapy called TENS which is light electrical charges and low audio waves and this had helped a couple years ago.

I have used TENS but how the heck can you use it on your feet? 😭. I used it on my back and legs it helped somewhat

Hi,
After an esophagectomy in November 2020, I suffered from constant pain in my abdomen. After my experience re-starting my GI after Opioids I went straight to over the counter meds; aspirin, Tylenol and Advil. They certainly helped but I was consuming an awful lot of them, 2 each per day. Something had to change as I was stating to see side effects, i.e. bruising.
My General Practitioner prescribed a CBD solution and put me on the state register. I tried oil and tablets, mostly CBD with a trace of THC and it WORKED! Not totally pain free, but it works as well as the over the counter solutions.
I have been going to a Pain Clinic with limited success; acupuncture, TENS, Opioids, epidural, all no go. Now exploring The Pump implant.
CBD works for me, without the THC.
Cheers,
Tom

You’re obviously very lucky! However, I really do question why you have been part of a forum of people who genuinely have chronic pain due to physical structural problems. I wish your suggestions were sufficient for me! I exercise, have a good diet and am in chronic pain each moment. I could go on but am actually feeling quite upset after reading your post. Those of us who are trying to live our lives as best we can with this invisible yet serious condition do not appreciate being told to just exercise, cut out sugar and have a good diet.

I would appreciate a post of the specific product name and name of the company that markets the CBD product that relieved your pain. If it worked for you and others reading this post, I would consider giving it a 30 day personal trial.
