Arthritis Hey guys would like a wee bit more of that knowlege that you all possess. I suffer from Arthritis in my knees and go through some periods of extreme pain. Living in the UK and there is no Medical marijuana card i can get and my doctor doesn't want to hear the facts (3rd Doctor), this is amazing as GH Pharmacuticals have there secret marijuana testing facility somewhere in the UK, this is where they produce there spray Sativex.Also i live in the top of the UK and it is very damp and cold which does not help with pain at all.I have been smoking cannabis since childhood some i enjoy this. But my Question is do any of you guys know what strains are good for Arthritis and the pain associated with it. If you know of any certain plants or different Mixes that might help. Any suggestions or previous experiences would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you all very much!! |

Hi Roachy - Here are some things I have copied and pasted for my own search about what different strains can be good for. I have gotten all from this website.

ADD: Focus: Catalyst, Billiejack, Jack Herer, C99, Thai, Haze, Elvis, Dogshit. Insomnia: Social Awareness, Emotional Stability: Black Domina, Butterscotch Hawiian, Trainwreck, Afgani, William's Wonder, Blueberry. MS Neuropathic Pain Urinary Incontinence: Trainwreck, Super Silver Haze), NYCD and Sour Diesel. For severe pain, concentrates may be required. Digestive Disorders: Blueberry, Blackberry, Black Domina. Nausea, Diarrhea & Cramping (including Menstrual): Blueberry. Social Anxiety: Romulan, NL#5, Hindu Kush, OG Kush, Bubba Kush. Stress: Heavenly Man. Sleep & General Relaxation: Sonoma Coma, Lifesaver, Matanuska Thunder Fuck, XXX, Legends Ultimate Indica, Sensi Star. Alert: AK-47, Dankouver, Cambodian X Orange Peako. Anti Anxiety/Sleep: Blue Moonshine, Jack Herrer, M-39, Herijuana. Chronic Pain: Romulan, Shiskeberry. Appetite Stimulant/Spasms: TY's Northernberry x Reefermans herijuana. Joint and Muscle Pain: Legends Ultimate Indica, UBC Chemo x Grapefruit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chronic pain: Blueberry, reeferman's hashplant appetite stimulant: Catalyst Joint and muscle pain: Blueberry White Russian-ak-47 x white widow-excellent for chronic pain and insomnia-M39 for chronic pain-Peace BigD Catalyst: is good for Anxiety and Depression. Purple Kush: helps my stomach and bleeds off my stress/anxiety. Slow train: ruins me for a good long while and my back pain just melts away Romulan-munchies, sleep inducer AK-47-pain relief, day dreaming, anti stress Hi all- I've been working my way through the various strains, trying to find an appropriate cannabis strain for me. My heart has a tendency to race, so I avoid most Sativas. Here's my experiences so far: Romulan: Pleasant slight mental high. *Great painkiller*/minor muscle relaxant. Aided sleep. My heart doesn't race at all on this stuff! Apparently, it has a lower THC content than many, and this may account for it's mellowness. Yeah! It also doesnt make me feel 'stoned' or stupid. Blueberry Kush: Medium pain control. Medium body high, STRONG sleep inducer. Knocked me out....twice. Peak 19- Too strong! 1/4 of a puff made my heart race for about a half hour, and made me feel like I was going to be ill. I hate this crap!! Mango+Durban cross: Decent painkiller, euphoric feeling, 'couch-lock'. Slightly 'stupid' high, and munchie inducer. Makes my fingers feel numb occasionally. Trainwreck: Anti-anxiety. Muddled my thoughts a bit but not too much to be disturbing. Good painkiller. Slight heartrate elevation. Extreme munchee inducer. The Skunk#1 that was grown on the PainPal system is VERY relaxing for me, it numbs my chronic back pain and is a real easy on the throat smoke. Two reasonable sized bowls and I'm off to "la la land" Nevles Haze is really good for psychiactric conditions, mood, and anxiety. I love Sensi-Star for it's ability to control muscle pain and nausea. It also has a wonderful aroma and taste to boot. I had a friend (RIP) who used to swear by Super Silver Haze cookies for his troublesome RLS and arthritic spinal problems. I have a couple of people I caregive that gave the strain a trial. Both of them said that the SSH cookies worked better than Rx medication and that Indica's did nothing for them. They also are very good for neuropathy and spasms from Multiple Sclerosis. I eat 2 strong cookies a day - like clockwork - and dropped the Rx meds for spasms. This works well for me and it's the first thing I will give to someone who has MS or bladder problems that come with MS. Nothing I've used works better. I have said it before, the Amsterdam Bubble Funk has a way of getting rid of my HEADACHES when the pinched nerve in my neck acts up with those top of the cranium gems of PAIN. Without a doubt, better than any asprin ever taken, and with immediate relief. As a general pain reliever, this strain does little for my FIBROMYALGIA. For that pain, i rely on Bubble Gum, or Blueberry to get me the relief i need, for the most part. BUBBLE GUM, LIFESAVER, AMSTERDAM BUBBLE FUNK, & Kali Misty definitely help me to cope with my FIBO flare ups, by the way AK-47- A more 'active' high, pretty decent munchie factor after a few minutes, and a very pleasant mental haze. Pain relief is definitely also a good plus with this one: an 8 for neuropathic pain, and a 9 for muscular pain. Effects are felt instantly, and although it's very potent, it doesn't make my heart race at all. New York City Diesel- This strain tends to put a bit of 'tightness' in my chest. A 7-8 for pain control, and an odd discernable head buzz. This tends to come on slowly for me. Small munchie factor. Trainwreck (further thoughts)- This is a really great strain to be active with. I've been using Trainwreck in the morning, followed by small hits of AK-47 throughout the day for pain relief, and it's very effective. Medicine Man- Excellent for neuropathic pain. I've been told by some that this is another name for White Rhino....although it doesn't seem to have as 'active' a quality as I expected from this strain. More than any other strain, this cannabis creates a fogging mental haze that can be shaken off if necessary, but really helps with perception of pain. I give this a 10 out of 10 for pain control and general anti-anxiety/mood elevation, however, I'd save it for the night- it's not the most motivating thing in the world, although it is possible to become productive if you push yourself enough. Afgooy. Great for stomach stuff as well. Serious couch lock. This stuff will make your face numb. M-39- Very happy, decent bodily relaxation, excellent anti-anxiety, and good for cramps. Silver Haze- AMAZING for pain- it's a very even head/body buzz, but it's an alert, cerebral one. I want to be busy when I'm on this stuff. RomSpice- This is the strongest body high I've ever felt. It literally makes my whole body feel numb and tingly. I give it a 12 out of 10 for pain. It surpasses Romulan by at least half. AMAZING and wonderful! It not only kills my pain- without massive amounts of opiates, but it also helps withdrawl symptoms- VERY well. It brought my aches down to being barely tolerable with advil (as opposed to me lying on the floor aching, shaking and vomiting). I highly recommend the club on 9th St. (10th st. is okay too, but the staff isn't nearly as knowledgable) in San Francisco. They know exactly what strains suit which ailments. Apparently, Cindy99 is supposed to be excellent for MS- they make bhang out of the most potent strains they have (RomSpice and Cindy99 for this batch), and many MS patients haven't needed anything more than an occasional advil. AMAZING stuff. Anti nausea strains: (I have BAD nausea due to a bad liver, kidney disfunction, and mental trauma/PTSD) RomSpice, Silver Haze, Romulan, NY Sour Diesel, M-39, Blue Moonshine, are ALL excellent- their effectivness is in order from greatest to lesser- but all of them work very well. NY Sour Diesel is excellent for anxiety, as is Bubblegum. SD gives an almost tangible sense of relaxation in the head- it killed a developing migraine before it started. my personal preference for treating MS, is ANY strong Indica,,, i stay away from any/all pure Sativas,,, the reason is the effects from Sativas- energetic up buzz,, activates my spazticity with this disease,,, it turns on my shaking in plain terms, makes me shake more,, it makes me vibrate, -try drinking coffeee i end up wearing it. so for me,, an Indica,, a very very strong Indica, is what i need to treat my issues with MS- Neuropathic pain,, spazticity,,, indicas turn off my spazticity,,, so for Ms in conclusion,, with my needs specifically,, i would have a list with only this- NO SATIVAS!!!! Indicas Only!!!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nirvana papaya: really helps chronic insomnia esp kief in cooking... Nirvana White Rhino: eases some chronic pain and assisted with hunger issues through chemo Female Seeds Grapefruit: Great for depression but not so good for anxiety issues. Nirvana White Widow: Found to be good for depression and lessens anxiety (again personal opinion here) Nirvana northen light x big bud: Good for moderate pain and late picked found to give a relaxing buzz...good for stress through pain, anxiety and long term chemo fatigue Disease specific MMJ strain list and saw that u often get a racy heart, i also have seemed to experience this now(before i smoked and never felt a racy heart) i think now its more mental, where my mind is telling me once u take a puff ur is gunna trip out.. so frustrating since i get severe migraines you say that the strain romulan doesnt give u any racy heart. just thinking out loud but i have read that romulan almost always tests for over a 20% thc level, does thc level affect heart rate?? or if u have any other strains where you have had no racy heart??? sorry for such the long note __________________ for the record everything i say under this account and or on these forums, is false and or fictional, and in no way shape or form represent me and or real life. i'm with you on indicas. i suffer from anxiety disorder and purple strains and kushes are the most effective for my condition. really strong sativa strains i personally like, cause it helps me be a little bit more energetic and productive. but i definitely recommend having a nice sativa/indica blend for more of an anti-anxiety effect. too strong of indica will prob leave you couch-locked. which will prob just make you more anti-social that relieve your anxiety issues. if you do get your license, the caregivers/dispensaries are typically great about being able to find a strain that helps you out. if none of that helps, check this dude's thread out: Disease specific MMJ strain list Disease specific MMJ strain list This is info that I have put together from MM sites across the net.

Hi Roachy, I just found this post about your arthritis.
I have it in my knees too. I finally have had some relief by doing the following: MMj Blueberry or Kush is my favorite and if it's really bad I would eat part of a MMj cookie. Experiment with a few strains if you can. I tried some that had no name and my knees actually felt like they ached worse. No sodium or at least cut back as much as possible. Might want to try Sea Salt instead. I also take Cosamin DS 3-4 days a week. You might want to do some online research to see if it will work for you too. And lastly, I do slow stretches everyday for 10-15 minutes - Yoga or Callanetics work the best for me. Best wishes on getting some relief! Last edited by Sunrise; 12-16-2008 at 12:40 AM..
