Cannabis may offer modest relief for chronic pain
A review of 25 studies found that some cannabis products offer modest relief for chronic pain. Small benefits occurred with oral synthetic products higher in THC and plant-derived THC/CBD sprays. High THC levels were associated with side effects like sleepiness, dizziness, and nausea.
Punch back against pinched nerves
A pinched nerve occurs when something compresses or irritates a nerve. This can cause pain, tingling, or weakness in areas like the neck, back, or wrist. Rest and home remedies can help, but physical therapy and medication are sometimes needed.
A headache that starts in your neck
Pain that starts at the base of the skull and radiates to one side of the forehead may be a cervicogenic headache. These headaches are sometimes mistaken for tension headaches or migraines. Cervicogenic headaches originate from a problem around the top of the spine. Possible causes include a herniated disk, arthritis, or an injury, such as whiplash. Treatments include pain relievers, physical therapy, and injections of steroids or anesthetics.
