Cbd

I have been using 1000mg cbd lotion on painful spots. Some days I would love to take a bath in it! I am wondering if anyone else has found topical creams such as this helpful and if that means that medical marijuana would help even more? I have been considering it and plan to discuss with my doctor at my next appointment. Hoping to hear of someone’s experience!

  1. I've just recently joined and have been scrolling through looking for any info that could help me or offer some of my experiences that might help someone else. I haven't tried cbd oils or lotions yet but I was given some cannabis to try and smoke. Doesn't help with the pain really but it did help me sleep all through the night without waking up. Which was a massive help at the time. I slept through extreme night sweats and everything after a smoke just before bed

  2. i use a cbd lotion daily and swear by it. i take roughly 100mg of oil daily. my pain level dropped from a 10 to 3, no lies. im having major stomach issues now but as far as my pain cbd has kept me off pain meds and no more injections in my knee or back.its great for inflammation.

    1. Also, as many of you, i have had many flare ups over the years (i was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia) we used to go up to Colorado and go to the dispensaries and they were so helpful in helping me pick out what was going to help me. At that time I had a job that didn't care if we had THC in our systems (sales). So, the correct strain usually does the trick. unfortunately, i'm an otr driver and i cannot have thc in my system, only cbd.


    2. I do hope you can find a bit of relief.
      Please keep us updated.

  3. Hi ,


    I haven't got around to trying CBD or medical marijuana (mostly because I can't access that where I live yet sadly) but I have heard people mention that it has been helpful to them.


    But I have used moxibustion and some Indian herbal creams on my painful parts which have provided a bit of relief.


    If those are things that you are interested in trying you should definitely bring them up at your next doctors appointment and see what they think. I hope you are able to find something that works at giving you some relief soon!


    Best wishes,

    1. I have great things about CBD helping many with pain. I know everyone is different. It is all trial and error. I use to use cannabis smoking and the oils. They where helping for a certain time. But then I noticed, it made my anxiety, depression and would increase my pains more at short amount of periods with high intense pains more than usual. It's weird. I haven't tried lotion, but would love to. I have a friend that it helps a bit. It wouldn't to try. Best of luck!!!
