CBD with cirrhosis

[BoHo73]

I'm struggling with pain from previous injuries (torn rotator cuff,lumbar back,sciatica)and PTSD diagnosed in 2020.My Hepatologist has said that I can take 2G of paracetamol in 24hrs. This does not sort the pain. I take 2 Cocodamol (8/500) at night (not every night) only as my fatigue during the day would be worsened.

In addition to the tiredness, random itching, peripheral neuropathy and abdominal pain this is driving me crazy.

My bloods were nearer to normal last time and my USS was improved. The damage is still there- I understand that.

As an option does anyone know whether CBD is safe?

Proper medical CBD probably isn't an option to you here in the UK as it's rarely prescribed and only for a very few conditions.

NHS Guidance at :- nhs.uk/conditions/medical-c...

The over the counter or online stuff (sold as food supplements) contains hardly any of the stuff which is needed for therapeutic effect some of it is even illegal due to content of THC.

I can only speak from my experience and I use RSO wich helps me no end and is non intrusive, however it's not legal. Its ridiculous to me that it's not prescribed as I know of many people with cancer ect who get great relief from it but I have used CBD in the daytime to help me relax, I wish you well and hope you find something to help your symptoms. Best wishes, Billy

I am not sure about CBD. However when I suffered from sciatica and then a slipped disc, I found that pregabalin helped.

I hope you find something that helps.
