You can go into your dispensary and discuss your symptoms with the pharmacist in order to find the optimal dose/mode of administration that works best for you. It is best to start with the lowest dose of a THC:CBD ratio of 1:1 and you can titrate up the dose until you reach the desired pain relief.\n\nrachelnp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7899-markdown","title":"cannabis for chronic pain","slug":"cannabis-for-chronic-pain","content":"\n_____________________\nHello!

Losing weight, strengthening muscles, and increasing flexibility may help you avoid a replacement as well. However, I would use the patches in conjunction with oral capsules/vape/tincture of a 1:1 THC:CBD ratio. Chronic joint pain after the joint replacement surgery is about a 40% chance, and the pain is sometimes greater in intensity. Rather deal with the pain you know than the pain you don't know. I would recommend giving  medical cannabis a try to see if it provides sufficient pain relief before considering surgery,\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7830-markdown","title":"I have a card in Ca for migraines, I also live in NY, can I use this as a recommendation for chronic pain?","slug":"i-have-a-card-in-ca-for-migraines-i-also-live-in-ny-can-i-use-this-as-a-recommendation-for-chronic-pain-1","content":"\n_____________________\nUnfortunately, the answer is no, in accordance with the California Proposition 215, your recommendation authorizes the use of medical marijuana only in the state of California. As a New York resident, you would have to be certified by a certified NYSDOH practitioner and initiate the process of receiving a registry card. The link below can help you with that process.

Chronic pain is defined as any severe debilitating pain that the practitioner determines degrades health and functional capability; where the patient has contraindications, has experienced intolerable side effects, or has experienced failure of one or more previously tried therapeutic options; and where there is documented medical evidence of such pain having lasted three months or more beyond onset, or the practitioner reasonably anticipates such pain to last three months or more beyond onset. Migraines may be a chronic disease for some, which can significantly diminish quality of life. More than 4 million adults experience chronic daily migraine – with at least 15 migraine days per month. Medication overuse is the most common reason why episodic migraine turns chronic. \n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7823-markdown","title":"Can taking CBD oil treat pain from costochondritis?","slug":"can-taking-cbd-oil-treat-pain-from-costochondritis","content":"\n_____________________\nHello. Costochondritis is a common form of inflammation of the cartilage where ribs attach to the breastbone. Most cases of costochondritis are treated with OTC pain medications. Medicinal Cannabis is a great option for pain relief. Studies show that Medicinal Cannabis provides the best pain relief at a 1:1 CBD/THC ratio. Can CBD alone provide relief? Well, CBD alone is an anti-inflammatory, THC alone is an analgesic. CBD (only) may reduce the inflammation which may result in a decrease in pain, but not in comparison to the analgesic effects that THC can provide.\n\ntatiananp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7820-markdown","title":"What's the best CBD oil without THC to manage my pain?","slug":"whats-the-best-cbd-oil-without-thc-to-manage-my-pain","content":"\n_____________________\nHemp CBD that is organically derived from long established family hemp farms, thoroughly tested, reputable international company, batch tested lab results, with full clinical support from a medical provider.

I might start off with half of the patch and see how this reacts with you.  CBD is less psychoactive than THC but it still has some psychoactivity, in my experience.  Another option is to try med cann topical lotions with a similar CBD:THC  ratio and cannabinoid dosage as the patch (or, creams or other preps) in a low dose/ small application and see how you react to that.  Keep in mind that there might be a slightly increased risk of falls (at least in my experience) so be mindful of this especially if other medications that might cause orthostatic hypotension, dizziness, balance issues are also being administered.  Be safe and well!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7804-markdown","title":"Does the potency of edibles decline over time?","slug":"does-the-potency-of-edibles-decline-over-time","content":"\"I use eat marijuana gummies to manage my pain. Once opened, does the concentration change over time?\"\n_____________________\nEdible companies have reported that they have not found a decrease in potency in products  that were kept for over a year. However, we have to treat edible products the same we would as regular non cannabis infused products. Edible brownies and cookies will be go bad just like their regular counterparts. Gummies usually have a long shelf life. The potency does not diminish over time but keep an eye on the expiration dates.\n\nhelenanp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7800-markdown","title":"Can cannabis help with occiptal neuralgia?","slug":"can-cannabis-help-with-occiptal-neuralgia","content":"\"If so, what should I be using and how often?\"\n_____________________\nYes, do both internal and external high CBDs. The CBD dominant topicals applied every hour during the waking hours to the base of the skull and the first 3 to 4 vertebra and do oral CBDs in addition 2-4 x/d in a tincture, tablet, lozenge or vape solution and you should be able to make a huge reduction in the pain level within 1 week and the pain may not return with continued use. Good luck but you may need to eliminate any neurotoxin exposures.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7797-markdown","title":"products for pain","slug":"products-for-pain","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7788-markdown","title":"Will a CBD cream help with the pain from hip bursitis?
