As I have written previously, CBD alone helped me reduce my oxycodone use from 6 to 4 a day PRN. Adding THC to the CBD (much easier and safer) helps me deal with my chronic pain better emotionally and throughout my day. I have no expectations of being totally pain free since I cannot use any anti inflammatory OTC or prescription drugs and never had back injections. I use buprenorphine patch 20mcg/7 days routinely, drink green tea, take turmeric 2000mg/day and eat an anti inflammatory diet. Except for my chronic level 5-6 back and leg pain I’m in the best shape I’ve ver been in for 69.
@samiam1949 you’re incorrect regarding gummies not being strong enough. I’m in Pa and medical dispensaries in MD, PA and NJ have a number of producers making gummies that are 100mg per gummy. I use gummies and tincture so I don’t need Percocet.

@jenatsky I am glad that you have found gummies that are strong enough. I live in Wi where the only legal gummies allowed are hemp. I have never been to a medical dispensary and never had a gummy that totally distracts me from my pain.
I would like something to help with sleep. I had 2 atypical femur fracture surgeries a little over 3 months ago. Mostly pain free now during the day but have a lot of trouble sleeping at night because of pain interference.
Don’t like the idea of Ambien every night. Take a Costco sleep aid which used to work before surgeries.
Have tried a wedge pillow and pillow between my knees.
Seems like I am wrestling around trying to get comfortable.

Hello, what kind of CBD? I can't smoke Medical Mara. Does it help severe pain? OIL? Does it go on the body??? If yes, how does that help?
