Since I can no longer take Aleve or Ibuprofen for my backaches and pains, I’m looking into using CBD oil tintures to replace them. Does anyone use it for pain and inflammation? I don’t live a legal state, so it would be just the CBD, not THC.

Yes, I use it for headaches and back pain. It works wonderfully for me. Def worth a shot.

I find it doesn’t work well when my back is irritated...
But to help me get to dreamland, I’m trying.

Hello! First post for me!

I am very interested in checking out CBD oil to possibly treat my diabetic neuropathy in my feet. I am taking Gabapentin now but they are fairly large capsules. I am still pre-op, scheduled for this November, but I'm not looking forward to cutting up all my medications/switching to chewables. I have no trouble swallowing all my meds at once, large pills included, and needing to change that is one of the things I'm dreading. I live in Illinois, which is at least now legal for medical use, so I would rather use the official oil sold at the dispensary instead of the questionable stuff at the local head shop. However, Illinois is very strict on what they will give an Rx card for, There are many more hoops to jump through and more fees than somewhere like California. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the struggle to get the better oil. In the past I wanted to go straight to THC if I ever got a card (at least for when I don't have to work) but I'm honestly kind of paranoid that I'll get the munchies post-surgery and do damage to either myself or my weight loss. Has anybody had any experience with that, even for recreational use? Just happy reading what everyone has tried on here.

Have you tried B1 thiamine supplement. It helped my husband quite a bit with his neuropathy.

Thanks for the reply!

I did actually add that to my supplements about two months ago, mostly to help fight off hair loss when the time comes, but since I'm still taking the Gabapentin I can't tell if it's doing anything for that yet.

I’ve used CBD for probably a year now with and currently without THC. Hempworx is a good brand and they carry both kinds. I have chronic pain and fibromyalgia and it helps me a lot.

thecbdistillery.com has been where I got a topical for pain as well as a sublingual for anxiety. The topical has an earthy maybe pine sol smell to it. My bf has severe joint pain issues in his knees and arm and it works pretty well. I don't use the sublingual too often because it smells and tastes more like what you would expect from a hemp derived plant (FYI if you use it at work!!). I have heard that the concentrations can build in your system over time and cause a positive urinalysis for thc if this is a concern for you. But it does help in the short term to get me back to normal when I am stressing like crazy.

Not legal in my state though we recognize that it has medical benefits. My chiropractor carries the creams. It helps

Foof76 you should not need a script for CBD oil. It is legal to buy in all 50 states. I am sure you can find a place to buy it. I use eadansgarden.com

I can buy knock off stuff at a few different locations, but the quality is questionable. The stuff sold at dispensaries is supposed to be more pure. I just want to know I'm using decent quality oil.

Ive used CBD oil capsules and cream. It is not illegal. The capsules make me tired so I take at bedtime. Both seem to work pretty well. We get it either online or at a local tobacco shop. Online is cheaper.

I think you’re in Texas? It’s legal here. It’s legal in all 50 states! ?

The mother plant is not legal

I use cbd cream all the time. love it, it does wonders for the skin

I second thecbddistillery.com. I've been using it for a few weeks now, sublingually. It really helps my hip pain, doesn't eliminate it, but helps it and gives me an overall sense of well being. I'm sleeping better and just feel better in general.

I've read different reports on if you should start with a low dose and build up or start with a higher dose and back down.

For me a dose in the morning lasts for most of the day. I'll sometimes take a second dose in the evening, or I'll just deal with the increase in pain.

Good luck!
