There are many "natural" herbal remedies for pain and some of those leading the charge recently have been marijuana, CBD, kratom, and kava.

Feel free to share your experiences with any of these or other herbal remedies? Discuss its effects: Did it help the pain? Were there side-effects?

Hi everyone. I have tried CBD... I did not notice much of a benefit with pain, but it did help with anxiety... it calmed me. I have heard the same about KAVA; I have not tried this yet.

I had no bad effects from the CBD.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
