He writes: \"Any route of administration may be helpful, including vaporizing, oral/ingestible delivery, and topical application. Vaporizing is fast acting for a shorter duration (1-2 hours) whereas oral/ingestible medications have a longer period of time before onset (up to to 2 hours) and have a longer duration of action (up to 8 hours).\" See his full answer as well as another community member's response here: https://www.hellomd.com/answers/574d90a1b2f1d800080000ef/can-smoking-marijuana-help-with-phantom-limb-or-is-there-a-better-way-to-take-it\nAs well, check out the following article listing 6 marijuana strains for back pain--they include Headband, OG Kush, Skywalker OG and more.

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_9759-markdown","title":"I have a severed spine at T5 and a nuerapthy pain arthritis ","slug":"i-have-a-severed-spine-at-t5-and-a-nuerapthy-pain-arthritis","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7551-markdown","title":"I'm having severe neck and spine pain but very sensitive and not sure what to try first plus have anxiety?","slug":"im-having-severe-neck-and-spine-pain-but-very-sensitive-and-not-sure-what-to-try-first-plus-have-anxiety","content":"\n_____________________\nEdibles, like candy and Tinctures are incredible for rheumatoid arthritis as they are sublingual and therefore enter directly into the bloodstream and are great pain management options.

","slug":"i-am-having-spine-nerve-pain-that-teaches-into-my-left-leg-and-knee-and-is-quite-severe","content":"\"Is their a CBD oil/vap product that could help this condition?\"\n_____________________\nYes cannabis is very helpful for neuropathic pain. I would try a sublingual tincture of whole plant cannabis extract with CBD, THC and the other components found in cannabis. You can vary the ratio and see what works best for you and your lifestyle. With more THC you may find more pain relief, but you may experience more psychoactive effects, changes in perception and short term memory. When utilizing the tincture, allow it to absorb in your mouth, so that it goes directly into your bloodstream. Try a small dose (5-10 milligrams of cannabinoids), and wait for half an hour to see if you experience relief. Increase the dose as needed. Vaporizing cannabis will provide more immediate relief and is often a bit easier to titrate the appropriate dose. You may also try topical cannabis rubs or a transdermal patch applied to the most painful area.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7279-markdown","title":"Can I get medical marijuana card in Virginia ?","slug":"can-i-get-medical-marijuana-card-in-virginia","content":"\"If so, what are the qualifying conditions, and what type of cannabis can I access? \"\n_____________________\nUnfortunately, the passage of the law HB1445 within your state only allows fro medical cannabis for those with epilepsy. It has often been the case that a bill like this is passed without a deeper understanding of what medical marijuana can do for people with numerous conditions. The law in your state allows for low or no THC cannabis oils, and is a complete travesty and misunderstanding by law makers.\n\nYou have no options to obtain legal cannabis in your state at the moment, which is unfortunate as it is an option you should be afforded. The best option is to ally yourself with organizations that lobby for legalization and also to write your congressman and local law makers.\n\nI hope this helps.

I have bought a topical compound of EMU cream with 120CBD, 60MG THC and used it on neck, shoulders for a painful bone spur pushing into my cervical spine at C5.  After applying the cream about 5 hours later I have anxiety.  Does the cream go into my bloodstream. It helps with pain but the I hate the anxiety.\"\n_____________________\nYour question is very common. If you go by the books, then no, topicals do not go thorugh the top layers of the epidermis and they do not enter the blood stream. I will include an article below. \n\nThat said, I always think that there is a chance you could be different, the cream could be different or maybe it just happens! The only sure way to know is if you take a THC drug test, which if this helps with the pain you may want to do just to know for sure.\n\nIf you go by what research says, it is only with transdermal patches that you will get topicals that enter the blood stream. The other alternative is to try a different cream.\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/do-cannabis-topicals-pass-the-drug-test\n\nI hope this helps!

The virus has greatly weakened her ability to use her legs and get around, along with causing great pain. She is currently on a regimen of Remicade infusions, as well as taking Micophenilate. I am very interested in having her try a CBD tincture, as I have read that doctors are finding success using CBD to treat inflammation and nerve damage, which she has. I want to make sure that Cannabis won't negatively interact with the medications she's on. Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, it seems like a 3:1 CBD to THC ratio would be best for her condition. Does anyone have a different recommendation? Thank you so much. \"\n_____________________\nCannabis is an extremely safe herb with no toxic effects or overdose potential. It should not interfere with the the Remicade infusions. I would try very high doses of CBD (with some amount of THC), as this will provide anti-inflammatory effects. Sarcoidosis is an auto-inflammatory condition, it is not caused by a virus. Minimizing inflammation is key.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11505-markdown","title":"I am diagnosed with Adhesive Arrachnoiditis.","slug":"i-am-diagnosed-with-adhesive-arrachnoiditis","content":"\"From some research I found out that Epidural injections are the cause. I had an Epidural injection in 2008 and 2010. When I complained about the pain in my feet and legs it was always diagnosed as Neuropathy. Recently a spine surgeon gave the correct diagnosis. Adhesive Arrachnoiditis. Is there anyone who has the same condition and how do they cope with it? I am on Morphine and Norco. I like to wean myself off the medicine with the aid of marijuana. I bought some 25:1 CBD/THC drops. I like some suggestions on how to use them. Daily doses and frequency. Is there a more potent mixture available? Thank you.\"\n_____________________\nI have a member of our collective that has Arrachnoiditis and from her feedback, the ONLY thing that has helped with her pain has been a Concentrated THC oil or RSO. 65-75% THC. She has not tried the Cannabidiol as she went directly to the RSO oil. A little goes a long way with that oil!! Maybe one of the doctors here at HelloMD can answer also....\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":1,"currentPage":1,"id":5774,"name":"Spine","slug":"spine","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
