Anyone used CBD oil?

[NicBay]

Hi has anybody tried CBD oil for muscle/joint pain? Did it help? Which brand/strength did you use? Thanks

HI, another thread is discussing this, another member, what I will say is, yes we know it is for sale on the high street and many people appear to be finding it helpful with their various conditions, but like any other supplement herbal etc it can greatly affect your existing medication, so please do check with your doctor and also consultant, and be aware it is always a good idea to keep an eye on Vitamin D, B12, Folate and Ferritin plus Thyroid results, all of these out of kilter can cause more pain and inflammation, and for me on top of that was having gluten in my diet. So please do seek advice. MaryF

Thanks Mary. I have just had a quick look and can’t seem found the thread - just looking for others experience of usage (I realise everyone is unique).

healthunlocked.com/hughes-s... Best wishes, and please do consult with your main doctors as I suspect this would really upset some medications and in particular Warfarin. MaryF

NicBay-

I use CBD balm topically forjoint and muscle pain. I wished I had seen this article before taking it internally via a sleep aid. I believe that's what caused my hemorraghic stroke in February. It's the only thing I was doing differently.

"CBD can increase the level in your blood of the blood thinner coumadin, and it can raise levels of certain other medications in your blood by the exact same mechanism that grapefruit juice does. A significant safety concern with CBD is that it is primarily marketed and sold as a supplement, not a medication. Jun 5, 2019"
