Anyone use CBD cream for extreme neuropathy pain in feet and legs?

Hello @gotosarah,

I'd like to invite @daj3333 and @rplg who have posted about CBD oils/creams in the CBD Oil for Neuropathy discussion, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cbd-oil-for-neuropathy/ which has many posts and discussion on CBD Oil.

@gotosarah, did your neurologist give any recommendations or where to start? What sort of management have you tried previously?

Dr. had no recommendations for CBD cream. I have tried Gabapentin, Cymbalta with no benefit. I'm going to be trying Tegretol next.

I found no relief from CBD/THC combination cream. Let us know if you have better luck.

Thank you!

I use it for lower, (very lower!) back back pain-- 1000 mgs. works well.
But doesn't work on hands, or feet.

I have PN. When the symptoms appeared, I recalled that 40 years ago I developed trigeminal neuralgia and that tegretol was an immediate fix. My doctor was sceptical that it would help for PN but gave me a prescription for 30 days. I used it for a month and it had absolutely no perceivable effect on my symptoms.

Prescription
Pain cream
2% Bacflofen
6% gabapentin
10% ketamine HCL
2% cyclobenzaprine
10% Diclofenac Sodium
2.5% tetracaine HCL
25% propylene
100% lipoderm

My doctor recommended this compounded medication to rub into my feet and legs. I wear socks with it a little sticky.

Expensive, but works well for me. Life’s saver.

My doctor advised that CBD interacts with some seizure medications, it increases the effectiveness of Lamictal and decreases the effectiveness of Trileptal. I don't know if that includes creams: 4% Lidocaine patches on my legs give me some relief, Lidocaine cream does not.

Thank you. I tried CBD cream for first time yesterday. Ok on heels but stung on tops of feet. The tumeric I think.
