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?

I live in Florida, close to Mayo Clinic. I can’t find CBD without THC. Need it for pain control.
Any suggestions?

My pain management doctor told me I could try CBD oil but I have been afraid to since I take lots of other pain meds...hrdrocodone, gabapentin, methocarbomal. Also take Xanax for anxiety. Anyone using the oil along with these meds?

Call the marjuana clinic where you got the CBD and ask. They are always helpful.

I tried it when it first became available here at a local store (NJ). It was recommended by pain management which was two minutes up the road. I didn't feel any help with my chronic pains which I had been taking Oxycodone. It wasn't cheap as I recall. I have a friend with chronic pain issues and spine surgeries. He's been a firm believer in weed (even before it was legalized). Says he's had bad experiences with pills. He's quite artistic and does great tile and masonry work. I've been wanting to try the edibles, I can't do smoke.

I can't smoke either. the CBD and THC didn't help me. And, you are right, not cheap.

I recently got a sample of high quality CBD oil from Neurogan. I've been using it twice a day for 3 days, and it has decreased the redness, swelling and pain in my fingers tremendously. I would say the pain is 30% of what it was. I'm thrilled!

I’ve found it to be surprisingly effective. I have no reason to believe you cannot use it while taking other pain meds notwithstanding allergies.

Thanks! I do have sensitivities to most meds so adding something to the mix is always a challenge for me. But it is encouraging hearing from others like you.

Find a MUV Dispensary. They are all over Florida. They carry with or without THC
