I have been experiencing a lot of pain lately due to bone lesions. Have tried to control my pain with Tylenol and pain patches to no avail. Have even tried prescribed pain killers (Tramadol) but found out the hard way that I was allergic to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, many people with breast cancer have used medical marijuana to help control their pain, especially when traditional pain medications like opioids do not provide relief. Products containing THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol) have been used. For instance, one MyBCTeam member shared that using CBD oil for neuropathy following a lymph dissection helped eliminate their pain after two months of topical use. Another member found relief during chemotherapy by using transdermal patches of medical marijuana. Additionally, edibles containing medical marijuana have been used at night to help manage pain effectively. Always consult with your doctor to see if medical marijuana is a suitable and legal option for your pain management in your area.

Pain mgmt would not prescribe opiates if I was using medical marijuana. If you go to the dispensary ask the pharmacist there what they would recommend for pain relief. I found the salve worked well

Thank you Jennifer. I am going to be getting radiation too, but it takes time to set it all up. Will be getting a pet scan on Monday and then an MRI the following week. After that they will do the mapping and then fit me in their schedule. In the meantime I am hurting with very little relief. Just trying to do some research for now and the future since I know even if they get this resolved with radiation it will probably pop again.

I have not needed to, but I think I would consider it.

If it works for your pain, do it🩷
