does excesive cannibas use cause pn
 

hello, new to site 43 m. i have used cannibas recreationally for a long time . i went on a 6 month bing smoking strong cannibas 2-3 joints a day . i now have pn in both feet . went to nero doc blood test ok. did my bing cause this . will it go away . i tried looking online and only find info to use cannibas for releif. not for me... i'm scared any info would help. thanks

Nope, if anything it helps neuropathic pain.

What tests have you had, to find the cause?

I suspect that excessive cannibas use would just make you very stoned.

Cannabis use is for relief and is not a causal factor
for neuropathic problems like PN.
But poisons are a causal factor..... like pesticides, growth chemicals, soil treatments, etc.

That, could be causal.
Finding which one, will probably be like
the proverbial 'needle in the haystack'.

The treatment for poison or chemical causes for PN are
all the same, practically (unless it is an exotic that can be identified & is treated differently).

Concentrate on learning as much info
(the 'stickies' at the top if the 'Topics' page)
as you can, and find out about treatments for PN
that fit your symptoms.

Hi and welcome though I am sorry. Have you seen any other specialists then a neuro and how did they dx you with PN?You said you had blood work but did they do an extensive testing for things like auto immune?I hope that you are being helped with pain control in the mean time. Many thoughts

how do you reduce pain from pn
 

I have been looking at the posts . are there any over the couter ( aleve,motrin,asprin, vitamins etc) to reduce pain. I am taking 50mg of elavil ( doc says that is normal dose due to not making me manic) ..I am having a hard time dealing with the pain.. I know everbody is different what are the chances of this going away over time ?.. my pn stated on the ball of my feet then moved to my toes ( tingling ,hot pain etc. ) in both feet 24/7 . . Is this common for a 43 m. Thanks

And don't take the doc's word for test results as 'normal' get the exact numbers and a copy of the test results for your records. Many doc's are behind the times as far as testing results. What used to be normal is now a warning sign. Get the numbers.

yes i have had the test below . i have read that deppresion and stress can cause pn.
 

i have had the tests above. and ok. since i stopped using cannibas 3 months ago and if this is the cause will it go away over time . i also se stress and deppresion will cause pn. any otc drugs that can help . thanks
