      I tried Gabapentin and it blew me up with swelling so bad. I had to get off of it.

      Gab is horrible. I take a controlled substance now. I have arthritis, fibromyalgia, costochondritis, degenerative disc, scoliosis, etc and I'd rather take thc anyday. It's natural. It helps more, especially with arthritis, and it's not as addictive

        @Blessings04 I stopped Gabapentin after 5 years and was on 600mg three x day! Now down to one 300mg tablet at night. I'm hurting and have neuropathy. Trying to see if THC or CBD would help.

          @Tamacita68 we are in the same shoes! I’m going to try it also. Unfortunately my Dr is not for the THC so I’m trying the CBD first. I definitely feel the pain more without the medication. I hope something gives!!

      I tried CBD only oil as well as one with a tiny bit of THC & unfortunately they didn’t help. I’ve also got severe arthritis, chronic lower back, neck & knee pain, so that may be why those didn’t work so well. I hope you find relief 💜
