Severe sciatica

Look into thca. Its thc that has not been decarbed. I use dry sift hash, but some concentrates are in that form and edibles can be made using them. Not sure if there are thca edibles in dispensaries but theyre not hard to make and they wont get you high.

There are suppliments that can help as well. Tumeric may help. Black pepper oil (food grade) might help. Lions mane mushrooms can help with nerve pain and has ngf, nerve growth factor. Good luck

 

my l5s1 never fused; I think sometimes my mother failed the folic acid and I got a touch of Spina bifida (not that severe, maybe Spina bifida occulta).
The only things that help me with this is stretches and exercises, such as:

• I will stand in the corner of the countertop and place my hands on each edge, then I will lift my legs up towards my chest.
• I will lay on my side and do scissor kicks, ie. lateral lifts.
  
• I will try some extensions, sometimes with my foam roller.
• I will ask my wife to rub some coconut/cbd oil topically if it gets really bad.
• I will lay at the top of my stairs and lean my back into the slope (don't slide down the stairs!)

The idea is to decompress the affected region(s). You can also try electrostimulation if it gets bad, but I find that the more I aggravate the symptoms, the worse it gets next day(s).

Get a back extension machine, they are cheap online.
I had very server back pain for several years, going through his zero series helped way more than anything else.

 

While standing, put the sciatica leg behind you on its toes and arch back until the pain fades.

 

Hi! I'm "Granny", a cannabis science nerd in California. Since "the system is up", I am assuming that there are dispensaries in your area.

I would first run a search on ACDC 20:1 vape cartridges. This will give you the names of several brands of ACDC cartridges like Mfused and Curaleaf. Jot them all down.

Then head to the local dispensary with your list and have a chat with the dispensary owner or manager, explaining your situation. If the dispensary already carries, say Curaleaf products, adding a few ACDC cartridges to their next order isn't a big deal. I know that the dispensary where I volunteer, will take special orders for items they don't always carry, especially for medical patients.

And have you tried tinctures? They are also available in a 20 to 1 ratio. I know that they are popular here in California. They can be very effective if you use them sublingually.

Also, start taking a few grams of Omega 3 (fish oil) every day. Like cannabis, it is an anti-inflammatory, and it also is needed to hook up the CB1 receptors that cannabis activates.

The earliest study I’ve found on this is “Nutritional omega-3 deficiency abolishes endocannabinoid-mediated neuronal functions.” (PubMed). Here’s the key sentence- “In n-3-deficient mice, presynaptic cannabinoid CB(1) receptors (CB(1)Rs) normally responding to endocannabinoids were uncoupled from their effector G(i/o) proteins.” (n-3 = Omega 3) Nutritional omega-3 deficiency abolishes endocannabinoid-mediated neuronal functions - PubMed

Most people don't get enough Omega 3 in their diet and are over-loaded with pro-inflammatory Omega 6. You might want to look into the Omega 3 Omega 6 balance- it affects your health more than you know.

Hope that helps!

Granny

 

I've been dealing with a similar medical condition for the past 20 years. I agree with MIW. I make size "0" capsules with fresh green bud. I have the best response using 1:1 strains like CBD Critical Mass. I was also introduced to an organic mushroom blend containing Lions mane mushrooms. Those two combined have helped more than anything else. The mushroom powder I use is called Performance blend and it is sold by Myriad Mycology if you're interested in researching that further.
