AFib and CBD/THC Creme for pain - is there a risk factor using it?

I've developed terrible knee pain and have no access because of CV-19 to see a doctor for my knee. I was wondering about using CBD with or without THC in creme form for pain relief. Currently I have 5/25 Oxyodone for back pain but refrain from taking it unless I really need to for several reasons. Does anyone know anything about the AFib and Cannabis connection risk? Thanks.

Hi

Cant you phone the GP reception to call you by phone. that seems to be what is happening. If its that bad the pain the A & E is still open for emergencies.

I've got a phone consult for next week..

GP's are doing telephone consultations as pip pip said and instead of having to wait weeks for an appointment for my daughter we got a next day call, and a follow up call a few day's later.

THC I believe can be a trigger for AF, so you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist before slapping the cream on .

I did try CBD oil with no THC and it did absolutely nothing for me other than leave a horrible taste
