CBD oil for pain

Posted by timfitz @timfitz, Jul 19, 2016

After trying opiates, and lyrica, and mostly just suffering I tried sublingual CBD which is from the marijuana plant, but has no THC in it, you don't get high. It was very very effective. Not only did it reduce my pain at least 75%, it has a calming effect on the anxiety produced in those of us with chronic pain by the fact we have it. I do recommend it.... Be sure it is from a reliable source. You don't need to smoke anything or get high.

I was given CBD Tincture by the doctor to help with pain. No help with the pain did calm down my anxiety.

I have chronic back pain and shoulder pain. Was surviving on Tylenol and Advil for years - introduced low does of hemp oil CBD a few years ago and once I got to around 50 mg per day via a tincture - I was able to use that to control the pain. Still have bad days but they don't happen often and I recover much quicker. The CBD I am on now is full spectrum so it has trace levels of THC - never feel high or loopy but I can tell it works better than "No THC" CBD. I was reluctant to go to 50mg per day but most of the reading said the benefits for pain are 50mg or higher doses. But it likely varies by person quite a bit. Give it a try - Med Terra full Spectrum is brand I recommend.

The CBD oil/tincture the doctor gave me "I was told at first had no THC" , however, the nurse then told me it had traces of THC so low that they would not be detectable in a urine test. Hmmm. That was important to me as my work is Federally regulated so I am subject to THC drug testing. That said the pain is keeping me from working. Dx*!m#3 if I do or if I don't. After reading your post I am going to increase my dosage of CBD in hopes it helps. I have heard may claim it has been helpful. Also think I might switch to gummy bears; The CBD I use now tastes awful.

When I was young I tried smoking some pot and had an allergic reaction to it. Years later, I tried hash - same thing - I was on the floor for 2 hours with such vertigo I thought I was surely dying and I couldn't call a doctor or ambulance because pot and hash were illegal then, I would be arrested as soon as I was well enough to walk. Do you think I would have the same reaction to modern THC orally? Topically? (I will never smoke anything.) Have any of you had an allergic reaction to pot or hash? Peggy

I can't use "typical" THC products. However, there's a sublingual CBD with THC oil that is completely non-reactive. Got it at a dispensary. Also hate the taste so I put it in empty capsules-you can get it at a drugstore.

Hi,

Post esophagectomy surgery and recovery I had constant abdominal pain. I treated it with aspirin, Tylenol and Advil, 2 each per day. This caused bruising, not good.

My GP signed me up for Minnesota Medical Cannabis. Yeah, right... I consulted the 'pharmacist' who thought their Indigo product would provide the relief I was looking for. Vireo, Indigo tablet 2.5 mg THC and 47.5 mg CBD. It worked as well aspirin, Tylenol and Advil. Not better, but just as well. They have a tincture product with the same Indigo name. I tried a similar product (Cobalt) from another Twin City dispensary which did not seem as effective, but it was cheaper.

Cheers,
Tom

@popolopo

I use CBD capsules and oil. Both have THC in. Some times I use the 50,50% mix when my pain is bad. I have sciatic nerve pain. I have trouble getting tramadol from my doc but cannabis is really helping.

@tomhayws54 you might try increasing your CBD oil. After over a year of experimenting I found that higher CBD and lower THC was my sweet spot. I take 100mg CBD and 20mg THC 4x day and I am good. This company is having a 40% off sale that I buy from. https://greenunicornfarms.com/cbd-hemp-flower/full-spectrum-oil/

I'm also in the Minnesota Medical Cannabis program, for pain from fibromyalgia. I had high hopes of getting relief, but am very disappointed in the program for many reasons, one being their limited variety of products. I received survey from them and stated my complaints. Did you get the tincture from RISE, as I was told they don't offer one?
