Neuropathic pain is often described as burning, shooting, or electric-like sensations that are difficult to ignore and hard to treat. When pain originates from nerve damage, standard painkillers may offer little relief.
If nerve pain continues despite treatment, a regulated medical cannabis assessment may offer another option worth exploring.
Check Eligibility
Neuropathic pain occurs when nerves are damaged or malfunction, often due to conditions such as diabetes, injury, surgery, or neurological disease.
Symptoms may include tingling, numbness, sharp pain, or hypersensitivity, and can significantly disrupt sleep and daily functioning.
Many people are prescribed medications such as antidepressants or anticonvulsants, which may not always provide adequate relief or may cause side effects.
Medical cannabis may be considered for neuropathic pain in cases where conventional treatments have been ineffective.
Some patients report reduced nerve pain and improved sleep with specific cannabis-based medicines. Careful assessment is essential to determine suitability and dosing.
