Has anyone used CBD oil? Any pain relief? I've been thinking of trying it, but am unsure if it will benefit me at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Members shared enthusiastic support for trying CBD oil for pain relief, with several reporting significant benefits including reduced pain, less stiffness, improved mental clarity, and the ability to lower other medications. Many members discussed different forms like tinctures, topical rubs, vape pens, sprays, and edibles, with some noting that topical applications provided warming relief within minutes while others preferred systemic methods for whole-body support. A recurring theme was frustration over legal availability varying by country, with members in Australia noting strict restrictions while those in Canada and the U.S. expressed excitement about expanding access and insurance coverage.

We.do get it here. And. It takes the edge of tbe pain.
It is a registered laboratory and is legal.
It is very small amount you use.

We also get the rub. One word...magic
With heat it works wonders.

One backset. Very expensive.

Anything is better than medicine with lots of side effects..

Hope my answer heps

I have had phenomenal results with CBD oil. It took me aback. Been able to reduce my fibro and pain meds because of it, and my mind isn't as foggy as it used to be - a HUGE Benefit. When I apply and rub it into my neck and shoulders, it gets a bit warm, then before I know it, my pain is reduced by 90% at least. I also have a CBD spray for using a couple of sprays under my tongue. That's for days when I need a systemic relief and not just local.

This CBD oil has no THC, which is the "high" portion as the hemp is processed. It is completely legal - not the stuff that's smoked at all! It's actually suspended in an olive oil base. Only problem I have is realizing how many years I went without it. It's not anywhere near as expensive as the Lyrica, Cymbalta, Wellbutrin, and Savella - not to mention pain meds. A lot of people are having great results with this ancient oil. Please find a way to try it for yourself!

I've tried cbd edibles. They definitely help with muscle stiffness

I actually just started using it a couple of weeks ago and I have to say, I'm really optimistic! it certainly hasn't made me pain free but definitely seems to take the edge off, and it also seems to be helping more the longer I use it. I've been using a tincture but also just ordered a 100% cbd vape pen as it seems a lot of folks notice more immediate relief with that method. still early working on finding a dose that works best, but I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot.

This is something I will talk to my rheumatologist about next week since my work drug plan will now cover it. (I live in Canada). Will let you know what she thinks about it.
