Cant help you with CO, but I have used flexiseq to ease arthritic pain: more info at flexiseq.com . Before my knee op, I also wore relatively tight jeans as a sort of splint which helped to ease the pain.

I have tried the knee straps and they make it so much worse so at the moment am walking very carefully x

Yes, I used the skinny jeans because they splint the whole leg, rather than the knee bandages which just rolled up and blocked the circulation.

My only experience with cannabis oil was about 30 years ago when I was in a band! Admittedly I didn't use it because I was ill, but none the less I hated the effect it had on me. Be careful before going down that route. Hope you manage to get it all sorted out soon, Brian.

Yes mine was in the 70/80's but I really want to read up more but taking it all in at my time of life is hard !! Need somebody who uses it really, can't be that much different surely ! x

I have spine/hip pain as well (degenerative disc disease from neck to tailbone + 2 spinal fusions). I started using cannabis edibles (candy) with THC about 2 years ago. It does help with the pain. I also take CBD oil (this has no THC in it) every day for the inflammation in my body and it has helps loads! I have recently decided to start taking the THC/CBD oil combination, but haven't received my order yet. I'm a light weight and only have to take a very little amount of the edibles to help my pain. I wish you luck in making your decision on using it or not. Gentle hugs!

Wow that sounds good, so if my doc says my heart is okay I will def give it a go or at least bake some cakes or something .... I am immune to the painkillers I have and there is nothing else with my condition that I can take ... so getting a bit desperate now ... will keep an eye on how you get on with the combo one ... hugs back xxxx
