Can you help?\"\n_____________________\nHi there, \n\nI'm sorry you had a bad reaction. That's never fun and can be hard to break through a bad experience with cannabis. I urge you not to give up because you will find the right fit for yourself. It just might take some trail and errors to find the right product for your relief. \n\nI personally do not know anything about \"rx oil caps\" and I don't know much about the sprays. However, for joint pain such as arthritis I would recommended doing a topical - putting it straight on where it hurts (Sweet Relief: https://getsweetreleaf.com) \n\nAlso, CBD tinctures or vapepens could be very helpful in body pains. This company makes a pen strictly for \"relief\" (http://hmbldt.com/pen-relief/) or a Kurvana cartridge \"Sunset tea\" - http://kurebotanicals.com/product/sunt/\n\nI hope you found this helpful and find some relief soon! \n- Nurit\n\nnurit","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9662-markdown","title":"I have rheumatoid arthritis with major inflammation.I can't walk/in wheelchair.Any product recommendations?","slug":"i-have-rheumatoid-arthritis-with-major-inflammation-i-cant-walk-in-wheelchair-any-product-recommendations","content":"\"I have not used any cannabis products and appreciate any pain and anti-inflammatory product suggestions.\"\n_____________________\nTopicals are a great place to start!

I personally, use the sleep formula and have found it effective. \n\nIn your case I would try and see if the pain relief pen works with your body. You will also want to look into cannabis topicals. Applying the cannabinoids directly to the affected area for some is much more effective than inhaling the cannabis, though both in combination can be a very effective remedy for chronic pain. You can also use topicals alone on your back if you are not looking to feel \"high.\"\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9638-markdown","title":"First time using a tincture","slug":"first-time-using-a-tincture","content":"\"My dr recommended a tincture for me.

You mentioned 100% cbd. Which means there is no active thc. I suggest you start with a few drops and document the results. If you have no change at a small dose then continue to increase your does gradually until you achieve the desired effect. Cbd is not going to make you feel high so it is going to require some trial and error to discover your best dose.\n\ndjsms","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9635-markdown","title":"What are my chances of getting a card in Michigan?

I am staring at two of the topicals I have mentioned on my desk right now. Each of the topicals I have mentioned have helped my back. I make a point to not write about things if I have not tried them personally and if I did not find them effective for my own pain.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nUsing cannabis to relieve back pain is one of the more common ways people make medicinal use of the plant. Relieving back pain that has become chronic is a different and more difficult problem than treating acute pain after injury or surgery. Opioids and other drugs helpful for acute pain can turn out to be a bigger problem than the pain itself when people try to use them to relieve back pain that has become chronic.  This is because you quickly build tolerance to the effects, so more and more is required for relief, a process that often ends badly with dependence.  Cannabis does not act in this way, and once a person is used to it the same general amount can be used indefinitely.  Because the mind and emotions are so much involved in the way we experience chronic pain, relieving back pain that has become chronic requires attention to moderating mood, calming anxiety, and changing outlook.  These are important ways medicinal cannabis can help reduce discomfort in chronic back pain.  Finding a preparation helpful for their symptoms often requires that patients do some cautious experimentation with different varieties of cannabis and cannabis preparations containing various ratios of CBD:THC. I suggest reviewing the cannabis 101 article on the HelloMD website (https://hellomd.com/articles/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) as an aid to discovering which cannabis preparations might be helpful and appropriate for your back pain. \n\ndrelkind","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9630-markdown","title":"What cannabis products do you recommend for lower back pain?

During the daytime CBD oil with minimal percentage of TCH can be used up to three times a day, while withy breakthrough pain the patient can use vaporization method for fast relief and here the percebtage of THC can be higher, for example ratio CBD: THC 2:1. In the article \"Medical cannabis - the Canadian perspective\" Ko, Bober, Mintra and Moreau (2016) presented case study of a patient with chronic lower back pain with radiculopaty and sciatica that was on different pain killers prior to start medical cannabis . So  at 60 days of follow-up, \"the patient’s pain was lowered to a weekly average of 3/10\" (from previous 7/10) on a numerical rating scale. \"The patient also indicated he did not see a need for pregabalin, and had begun the process of lowering his daily dose\"(Ko et al., 2016).\n\nKo GD, Bober SL, Mindra S& Moreau JM (2016).

A good starting dose is 5mg each of THC and CBD, three times a day. Wait a few hours after using the tincture and then increase the dose as needed. A vaporizer can be helpful for more immediate effects. Topical THC and CBD will also provide localized effects. \n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9616-markdown","title":"What works for post-surgical pain?","slug":"what-works-for-post-surgical-pain-1","content":"\"Joint surgery with bone pins.
