my mom is 79, approx. 5 9 , approx. 200 labs. she has tried thru her GP all known remedies for pain, as well as acupuncture and herbal remedies. now is on her final available option, medical marijuana. GP and my brother, also a GP don t have guidelines re dosage or how often to up the dose, so it s all very hit or miss and she feels discouraged and in the dark. we have a very good medical marijuana pharmacy here, and she has all forms, ie cookies, rub, ointment, lotion, oil. any assistance with dosage or timelines would be so helpful!! she just needs more guidance. very intelligent and no mental problems, age-related or otherwise. she will try anything for her neuropathic pain except smoking marijuana. thank you.
Ok, there are several standard medicines for neuropathic pain. Nerve pill ssuch as amitryptiline, lyrica, gabapentin and dilantin. There are nerve dampers such as lidocaine. There are nerve dampers that are physical usch as tens units and neuroablation, botox is also being tried  there are operative removal of the nerve or neural internal tens units.This would be most of them.
