It seems that for me, CBD only helps with sore or tight muscles. I like the cream for specific spots that are troublesome, and the oil or soft gels for larger areas of spasticity (although not if you're using something else like baclofen at the same time). Looking at the websites and reviews, it sounds like it cures everything known to man. Dr. Boster advocates taking half a gummy for anxiety, although it makes me too foggy. There is a good company called Bluebird Botanicals that I like for the oil/soft gels. I can sometimes find good coupon codes on offers.com that significantly lower the price. The last time I bought oil, I got a larger bottle at Bluebird than other sites offered and it only cost around $20 with the promo code. Plus they test each batch to verify its potentcy and make sure there are no common contaminants.

I like pain creams from Refresh Ohio and Medterra.

I hope that you're able to figure out what works for you. Good luck. ❤️

Sorry! omg and oh no! I answered this but I don’t know where I put it! So sorry to whoever that is applicable 😂. So:

Pros: it helps with pain, it helps/makes me move smoother

Cons: they make me sleepy

I take the gummies, but I hear the oil helps more and better, I have not tried it yet so I don’t know. I hope you find what works best for you! If you think of it, I am. Interested in hearing what you try :). (Im . In US too)

I’m also avid on vitamins I take very many! They do help and make a difference and give me more energy

I'll eat a gummy for sleep, Indica, I believe it is and it works well.

I sometimes get a sharp pain in my foot and it doesn't help with that but frankincense and myrrh oil does.

I’ve never tried anything like CBD. For my aches & sore muscles I found at Walgreens brand “Equate” they have a pain relief cream that is 4’/‘ Lidocaine & works great. It comes in spray on, lotion & 1 other. Relatively inexpensive compared to top name brands.

I wonder if that will help with the residual pain from my surgery, nearly four weeks ago.

I know a lot of people that take CBD, but my doctor says only THC really helps with the pain and spasticity. I use THC tincture and they finally sell it here in GA. I've had my license for 7 years.

Not what you're looking for?
