MrFrederickson – I don’t remember if I mentioned this to you before. If so, sorry to repeat myself. Many people have been helped with CBD oil . I used the under-the-tongue drops for leg spasms, but others use it for pain. I use CBD cream on my back for arthritis pain . It helps me there. Also, many have been helped with hypnosis. But it must be done with a pyschotherapist who specializes in this and is trained in hyponotherapy. :heart:Jeanne

@Briansmith1962 not sure what sort of pain you have but have you thought about a gel like voltarol? Not sure what the strongest over the counter meds you can get are but talk to pharmacist they can help and also advise in relation to any interaction with any other meds you’re on.

Hello. I’m new to the group. My husband had a stroke (2 previous TIAs) a month ago. He is struggling to sleep due to spasms and pain in his thigh and knee. GP has prescribed diazapam but only offers about 4 hrs of sleep. Does anyone have similar symptoms and if so what have you found to work? Many thanks. Theresa

Thanks. It’s sadly reassuring that this pain is common to many stroke patients.
