I've been in terrible pain with a knee injury for 10 years next month. So much pain I have to decide if I need to go to the bathroom or if I can wait to limp in there. TMI.

Doctors won't do anything so finally changed insurance but too much a baby to set up an appointment. Hubby got me some CBD stuff per the health store owner - two in pill form and one ointment. Nothing worked. An M&M would have done better than the pills. A glass of water would have been just as effective as the ointment but I religiously used the jar up over 3+ months just in case I was wrong. I wasn't. Gave hubby the last week's worth of pills when he had a very bad fall and they did nothing for him either.

Save your money.

I am convinced the whole industry is a big hoax and unless something is done, its legalization has pretty much has sealed the fate of California’s downfall as a state.

I am so sorry to hear about your knee. I pray you find the right people and resources to treat you. There are some great chiropractors, physio-therapists, and acupuncture/acupressurists our there. Hopefully a careful dosage of pain medicine combined with something topically applied will also help. Praying!

reading about how you tried using the whole container (over time) made me think about the radio pitch for Relief Factor. Larry Elder, Dennis Prager, and others sing its praises but they say it doesn’t work for everyone. I have never tried it. The radio pitch says take x # every day for 2 weeks to see if there is any improvement.

and I assume CBD products are like “vitamin C” unregulated and your mileage may vary with different suppliers.

A CENTRAL BUSINESS District (CBD) is the nucleus or downtown of an urban area that contains the main concentration of commercial land use, with the highest percentage of retail shops, offices, and services such as banking and finance.

Now, what products are you talking about?

Office supplies?

Copiers?

What was the strength of the CBD pills you took?

Maybe your health store owner recommended something that's too weak for your level of pain. It's possible he recommended the CBD equivalent to aspirin since you're new to it.

http://cbdforthepeople.com “Grandaddy Purps” Vape cartridge enabled a friend to cut her prescription Oxycontin use by over 80% for the last year.

She is still with us as a result.

Get the real, uncut, natural stuff and there is a “there” there.

About a month ago, I started taking some stuff with CBD oil in it that my wife got me. I just took on a new position at work that is much more physical with heavy travel and long days. It is exhausting.

I don’t know if it works or my body is just getting used to the changes.

I’ve always believed that there are many natural things with certain medial benefits, but the CBD insanity to heal scratches to decapitations is pretty insane.

Jury is still out for me. When it runs out, then I’ll know.

I have been using coffee with CBD and it has marginally reduced my blood pressure from an average of 131/89 to 128/84.

I also gave it to my dog because the veterinarian said my dog had the worst case of spinal and hip arthritis he had ever seen. She lived 10 months beyond what she should have living.

I just tried the “real stuff” for the very first time while in Washington last week. It was a surreal shopping experience. Finally checked off my bucket list. Great customer service. Very busy place. Ordinary young and older people buying. You could choose to smoke it, eat it, or drink it.
I think anyone who is in pain or has cancer should definitely try it.

My neighbor uses CBD for pain in his neck. He just rubs it on and feels better. He is a pain in the neck, but there’s no remedy for that.

I have the occasional pain in neck and use Arnica, for muscle relief. Arnica is a homeopathic remedy, using cell salts. My pharmacist assures me it doesn’t work, but it does and I changed drugstores because she’s a moron. That drugstore actually carries homeopathic remedies.

I discovered Arnica on the ski slopes years ago. I was on the baby slopes and my friend came schussing down the mountain to me and said “Watch this.” He pulled up his pants leg revealing a nasty swollen bruise on his knee acquired when he fell. Pulled out this tiny bottle, took half a dozen tiny pills. And we could see the swelling go down. He got back on his skis and I’ve used Arnica ever since. Absolutely works for me. Cheap too.

Other homeopathic remedies do too for cold relief, coughs, sleeplessness, nervous tension, etc. The important thing is to get exactly the remedy you need for your condition. Cold relief wasn’t working very well till I found cold-with-chest cough remedy. My health-food-store has a good supply of Hylands brand. There’s another brand with more varieties, but I cannot get the tops off the bottles and end up hitting it with a hammer, spilling the stuff all over the floor.
