Hello! I would also be interested in what device or meds it was that made you feel better. I suffer from CRPS and I’m getting my 4th sympathetic nerve block. None of them have worked. I’m going to my second opinion doc Monday for the 4th. The pain radiates in my left foot; happened after a broken foot surgery in Sept 2020. I take 7 different meds just to feel some relief each day. The money I spend on pain meds just might cover the cost of what had used. I’m very interested in knowing.

Thanks Yj

The only thing that I have ever found to work is CBD oil, all the back pain meds I have ever tried have side effects.

Medical marijuana has given me a life again,n im a med disaster,lol

Thank you. I think it might be hard for me to get pain relief on tincture. I am trying to avoid smoking , but it might be that thats what it might take.

How high thc is good for you? I undertand if you feel uncomfortable stating that.

Thanks so much. This info has really helped

Thank you. Yes, a lot of trying. So far, its not hard to fugure out nothing has helped and when i get something that helps, i will surely use it. I have a feeling there will only be things that dont help, and if i chance upon a good one, it will feel like i struck gold!

Happy New Year !

Take care.

Hello Darko, I can understand where you're coming from. I have an intolerance to Co-codamol and Tramadol and often feel beside myself with pain and frustration. I take a low dosage of Amitriptyline as a muscle relaxant at night which helps slightly. For a few years acupuncture and the odd visit to an osteopath to stretch my spine helped. It's still an ongoing concern of mine too.
