Is marijuana a possible answer? [Florida]\"\n_____________________\nI would highly encourage you to try the various types of cannabis salve. I have personally found CBD: THC in a 2:1 ratio to be very affective massaged into the spine and the muscles to the side of the spine but the first couple of times you use it you may have to wait five minutes and put a second layer on for complete relief. I also like the THCA salve but I do find it is stickier. The more you use the salve, it seems like you need it less often and it is not a permanent fix but it certainly gets you out of pain.\nBones tend to deteriorate because people do not have enough vitamin D in their system to put calcium where it belongs in the bones not in the muscles and arteries so be certain you have your vitamin D level checked but for optimal results you must see someone who knows about nutrition and kidney clearance of vitamin D. In addition you must hydrate adequately to preserve the discs or that's another contributing factor to chronic spinal pain.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9783-markdown","title":"Chronic pain in my back and PMR","slug":"chronic-pain-in-my-back-and-pmr","content":"\"I crushed my t12 in my spine 2 yrs ago and have chronic pain in my back. I  also have PMR which is polymyalgia ruematica.  Would cannabis help? \"\n_____________________\nPMR has an underlying inflammatory mechanism, so yes CBD in particular can help reduce inflammation and the associated pain.  Cannabis, through the CB2 receptor, has also been shown to promote bone formation in laboratory studies, but the clinical effects in humans isn't known.  You could certainly try a high-CBD product, and even try a topical applied to your back and shoulders, which can have pain-relieving effects.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9767-markdown","title":"My name is shane and have multiple injuries causing pain and headaches","slug":"my-name-is-shane-and-have-multiple-injuries-causing-pain-and-headaches","content":"\"Looking for something other than pills\"\n_____________________\nHi Shane, \n\nI'm sorry to hear about your injuries, pain and headaches - That sounds very uncomfortable. I would start by asking where is your pain? I'm assuming you are having body pains and if that's the case I would start with some topical creams - putting the cream right on where it hurts. \n\nSince you are looking for something other than pills (again i'm assuming they gave you some opiates for the pain) I would recommended trying a strong indica to help with pain, like smoking some Grand Daddy purple. Also, CBD / THC tinctures would do wonders for you at this time. \n\nHere's a few articles to back up my suggestions!

But it's complicated. If you live in a state that does not allow cannabis for medical use then bringing those pain patches back into your state will put you on the wrong side of the law. Also, you will need to travel to a medical state that allows an out-of-state ID to be used during the medical consultation (required before being able to purchase a cannabis medical product). Few allow this.

You will need to provide proof in the form of government ID and then also have a legitimate medical condition which your doctor will discuss with you during your consultation. If you are a minor, meaning under the age of 18, then you can apply with your parent's consent but you will in most cases need to show medical records and evidence that cannabis is the best treatment path for you. A great for instance is a child with epilepsy. In this instance, the parent is in the consultation with the minor and will be the one to buy and administer the medication.\n\nThe laws vary state by state.\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nUnfortunately we do not serve minors at HelloMD (even with parental consent).

Will this transdermal patch help? I am in so much pain. \"\n_____________________\nI'm so sorry to hear about your nerve damage from shingles! I had shingles a few years ago and I'll never forget the pain. \n\nI would recommend using a topical onto your skin, these two brands are on point for giving you relief where it hurts:https://getsweetreleaf.com/ and http://azcannaoil.com/ \n\nA CBD tincture would be helpful for you too, as well. It will help with internal pain relief without a psychoactive effect (esp since shingles are a nerve pain this would be key for you) \n\nAlso, in the end of my shingles I was being treated by acupuncture, if you haven't tired that I would advise you to try.  \n\nI hope you find pain relief soon! \n- Nurit\n\nnurit\n_____________________\nHi there!\n\nIf you are experiencing chronic pain/nerve damage due to shingles or neuralgia, you may be able to find some relief with transdermal patches! The advantage of using a transdermal patch for nerve pain is that the medicine is delivered through all seven layers of the skin and into the bloodstream to provide full body relief.\n\nTo use a transdermal patch, you will want to put it on a veiny area, and your body heat will naturally activate the patch. Once the patch has become activated, it slowly releases small amounts of cannabinoids directly into the bloodstream to be carried throughout the body. Because this medicine is not ingested, the patch will bypass the liver and stomach acids, providing relief within 30 minutes. Depending on your body composition, cannabis use and level of pain, patches can provide relief anywhere from 8-12 hours. For severe pain, it is safe to wear more than one patch at once.\n\nPlease check out this article below that provides more information on Transdermal patches for pain relief! Hopefully this helps your nerve damage and pain from shingles.\n\nI hope this information helps! :-) \n\nVeronicaB\n_____________________\nI am so sorry to hear you are in pain and suffering from shingles. It seems that so many people end up with this condition, and it is horrible. Nerve damage from shingles is unfortunately something that does happen but the good news is, there is some preliminary research that indicates that cannabis may be helpful with this condition. I am not a doctor, but I do do a lot of research on how marijuana may be helpful to a variety of conditions.\n\nShingles is a condition caused by a virus, the same virus that infected so many of us as children, chicken pox. After having chicken pox, the virus lays dormant in the system and may reactivate later in life usually in people in their late 40's or older. It may exhibit as a rash or even cause blisters and boils, affecting the torso often, but I even know someone that had it on their eyelids! It's awful!\n\nThe good news is, is that marijuana is a neuroprotectant and is an effective pain reliever and has been shown to relieve the painful symptoms associated with shingles. Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors in our body, the CB1 and CB2 receptors. It has also been shown in recent research to be an anti inflammatory and help relieve conditions with nerve pain. As always, cannabis is highly individual and there is no one size fits all. It is up to the individual to find what works for them. For some it is high CBD and in others it may be high THC and in others an equal ratio. I always suggest to go low and slow to begin. \n\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":312,"numPages":54,"currentPage":27,"id":5599,"name":"Pain","slug":"pain","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
