Chronic Pain Can marijuana be helpful in treating kidney stone pain ?

it might help distract from the pain but it wont cure it, and I doubt it will do anything in regards to flushing the stones.

 

Only a doctor can tell you. Agreed with above. It will help you forget about the pain and that would be about as much as it goes.

 

it may help muscles relax a bit while the stones past ,but it may also make the pain more intense ...the only way to know is try and see how it goes ..best of luck ,,,mac

 

Have you had the Lithotripsy procedure?

 

Weed will not likely help you flush kidney stones. It may mask the pain a bit but I dunno. I had gall stones years ago and weed didn't do much for the pain.
Your best bet is to see a doctor. Depending on the make up of your stones they can prescribe meds that will either help dissolve the stones or make your blood and urine less acidic.
If you drink a lot of coffee or soda or even certain fruit juices try cutting back on them. It probably won't do much for your current situation but it'll help prevent any future flare ups.

Do NOT try any of the homeopathic methods. Since only about 5% of kidney stones are dissolvable, things like cranberry juice or apple cider vinegar that are "recommended" for dissolving kidney stones can actually aggravate your condition.

I genuinely feel for you and I hope they pass quickly. Having stones, gall or kidney, fucking sucks.

 

if not mistake the olive oil and apple juice mix helps to clear them . like a 50/50 blend if not mistaken ... was one of the Edgar Cayce remedies

 

The pain from a kidney stone has been equated to that of childbirth.
My daughter just went through this and luckily found one of the top stone Dr’s in the US in NYC.
The stone was large and stuck in her ureter. Not your normal type lithotripsy procedure as it was discovered that she was in the 1% of people on the planet who have retro renal colon.
It was an interesting journey getting her through this, she had been to multiple ER visit’s when the pain flared up and narcotics were the only thing which would help. If you have severe stone pain the last thing you’ll want to be is stoned.
Renal colic is another name for this btw.
To be transparent, I’m an RN and have worked in multiple ER’s and have taken care of dozens of patients with this condition.

THC suppositories might help.

 

Only if you eat it, maybe. Smoked cannabis isn't processed by your liver or kidneys because it's absorbed directly into the blood stream via your lungs. If it does at least mask the pain for you though then go for it. Some of the pains I smoke for I know it's simply masking the pain and quite frankly, I don't care HOW it works as long as it's working.

 

With the gold standard of pain, I doubt it but like chicken soup it probly couldn't hurt.
