CBD Oil for arthritis

[Dougeye]

I've been dealing with osteoarthritis for about 12 years now, and have been taking daily doses of both celecoxib and acetominophen to ease the pain. Between that and keeping on the move as much as possible, I've been able to do pretty much whatever I want. I had a telephone appointment with my doctor last week, and he told me I should give CBD oil a try, he said it's made a big difference for some people.

So off I go today, covid mask in place, and line up at a higher end cannabis store. A bit of an odd feeling, I never was one for the recreational drugs thing, but then, my intent was medical. The young lady behind the counter seemed very knowledgeable, and a few minutes later I walked out $22 lighter and a 30 ml bottle in my pocket. Tomorrow morning I'll take my first dose.

Any experience out there with this stuff? Does it help?

I'd be interested in the replies also. Got arthritis in my hands, base of thumb especially and my knees and hip I still enjoy riding my bike but after less than an hour my hands are froze up. I've got cruise which helps but kind of hard to use it around town LOL. Sucks getting old...........Mike

Do you rub it or chug it?

Chug it. Well, not really, it's sublingual drops. The CBD oil is mixed with a carrier oil. I start with a low dose for a few days, and increase gradually until there is an effect. There is a very little bit of THC in it, but even at the highest dose it's not enough to make me high. Or so they say. I'll report back. Is it really possible that no one else out there has tried this stuff?

Well, Sharn Jean has some skin cream that I use occasionally; works really well...otherwise, all I've done is think about it.

Only for our dog... eatables. Wish there was more THC in there for him... awprint: :scooby-doo: die: awprint: He's nuts but better with the treats (too scared to skip his treats now to see if they really work).

I would kind of prefer a way to make the condition stop hurting rather than taking pain relief 24/7. Is that unreasonable?

Stepdads coworker used to take home PCB transformer oil to rub on his joints.

A while back on a construction site guys were complaining of sore joints.

The next day I displayed my cure.

I had used clear tape to attach a grease zerk onto my knee!

I and several friends have made CBD products for personal use. Tinctures, salves, and ointments. I would be surprised if any CBD product would greatly help arthritis, but hope there is one. I know of a woman who has some sort of severe ailment, and the only CBD strain of marijuana that helps her is called, Girl Scout Cookies.

When it comes to arthritis, and I've had a bout or two, especially when younger, Now, at age 77, I've been free of it for over 45 years. I will attribute this to an almost daily consumption of flax seed meal in my steel cut oats. Also, back when I first struggled with arthritis in my hips, I was turned on the use of alfalfa tablets, which I consumed 3x daily for a couple of weeks. Alfalfa is a deep diving plant bringing valuable minerals to the foliage.

There are numerous plants in nature which when one does a little research they will be amazed at what God has naturally provided for medicine. See #8 in this article about curcumin, for arthritis relief. 1 Proven Health Benefits of Turmeric and Curcumin

Worst thing is, there is no rhyme or reason to my discomfort. Hard to treat a condition like that. One day get out of bed without a problem. Next day, can't bend down to pick up the cats dish. No way, no how!
