CBG (not just CBD) oil for Neuropathy

Posted by elena_l @elenal, Mar 27, 2024

I have idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and have used CBD oil sublingually and topically with some success. However, what really made a difference for my nerve pain and reduced it very significantly was CBG oil recommended by a CBD store salesperson, who shared with me that some of his customers found it more effective for nerve pain vs. CBD. CBG oil (the "mother" of CBD) has been scientifically researched and found to target nerve pain and inflammation. It is usually sold in combination with CBD such as CBD:CBG 2:1. Since it's THC free, I take fairly large doses and haven't had any side effects from using it. Has anyone else tried CBG oil for nerve pain and what was your experience like?

Hello from Boston,
A friend sent me this conversation link re: CBG oil, and it piqued my interest.
My diagnosis is autonomic peripheral neuropathy. Dec 1, 2016, my entire life changed in a NY second, when a 7cm blood clot ruptured through my IVC artery. The NY ER docs & nurses kept pumping me with fluid until they found where the bleeding was coming from. It left me paralyzed. My mobility is limited to a walker or cane, and I no longer have any balance.

Ever since that fatal day, I have tried every product from THC/CBD gummies, CBD this, CBD that. Nothing in the cannabis industry worked for me. Frankly, I think CBD is a rip-off, or my neuropathy is too severe for it to work. I smoked pot back in 70's. What they sell in these dispensaries is a whole lot different! Can someone please inform me where I can buy CBG oil, and do you apply it to your skin, or is it in capsule form? I've been wrapping my feet with Castor oil at night, and it breaks down the bone spurs I have acquired.
Thank you for reading my short story!

I live in a very small town but there are growers here who also have a story located just across the state line where it is legal to sell. They have explained it all to me very carefully and the difference in CBG and CBD. If you can find one of these inn your area they will be very helpful.
