Pain Relief from CBD Oil

8 Replies

I am 82 years old and for the past 42 years have suffered with osteoarthritis in my spine. I have been registered disabled for 20. Have been taking 8 tramadol a day for the last 20 years until 10 weeks ago when I started on CBD oil. The very next day I noticed a difference and cut tramadol down to 4 a day. I am now only on 2 a day first thing in the morning and no more pain during the day. I cant praise it enough. I feel after 42 years I am getting my life back. I use Full Spectrum CBD oil from Oil Connection in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on eBay. I have the mint flavour at £19.50 a 10ml bottle (200 drops) Dosage 2/3 drops under the tongue 2/3 times a day. You may need to increase drops to 4/5 over the next few weeks. I feel I have reached my level at 4/5. One tip. Leave 2hours between taking oil and other meds. Good luck to you all. Urania.

Hi Urania that's great news. Do you get you're CBD oil sent through the post? I live in Australia and am not sure if they would send it here. Is it classified as a food because it doesn't have any THC in it? My sister is on a spray as part of the Medical marijuana program in Australia. However it's $750.00 a month. Her adult kids pay for it. Unfortunately I don't have that option. We both have nerve damage and she says it takes the pain out of her thighs. I wish you all the best and I'm so pleased the CBD oil is working for you. Lola

Hi, yes, the company I get my CBD oil from do post to Australia at a cost of £8.50 per shipment regardless of quantity. £19.50 per 10 ml bottle. Dose: 2/3 drops 2/3 times a day.initially but need to increase as time goes on. I.have been using for 10 weeks and for the last 4 weeks have been taking 4/5 drops a dose, roughly.using 2.5 bottles a month. However, we are all different and you may need more or less. Increase must be very gradual.

If you go on internet and type in. -

"100% Genuine Organic Full Spectrum Whole Plant CBD Extract Oil at OilConnection-online(834) on eBay "you should find it. When you get it up, if you click on Description, it will give you a lot more info about the product. Best of luck. Urania.

PS. I am not sure how the above prices work out in AS$.

Happy to hear it works for some folks in pain. I tried it and it did nothing for hip and leg pain. What dose did you start on Urania maybe l took too little. Mine was CBD oil drops under tongue

I started on2/3 drops 2/3 times a day as suggested on bottle for first 4 weeks then started to increase only one dose a day and have gradually built up to 4/5 drops 3 times after 10 weeks which I feel is the level I need. You can't over dose but it is wise to leave 2 hours between taking oil and other meds. I am on antibiotics at the.moment for bronchitis so decided to leave off oils altogether for a few days, but have not noticed an increase in pain which is encouraging. All I know is that since I have been takingCDB Oil from OilConnection-online, in Belfast I have been practically pain free after 42 years. I also believe that different brands can have different effects on people. I have been very fortunate to find the right one. Praise God. Urania.

That is fantastic Urania...so glad it is working for you. Maybe l didn't stick with it long enough. All products were just legalized in Canada six months ago and are very expensive but will give it another go. Bless you and so glad you found relief.

Good to know as I have been reduced in pain meds due to fake news that we are all going to overdose in Australia.

So we have maybe million or more elderly folk not able to get their usual 240 Panadeine Forte for 30 days pain relief.

Now just have to find how to buy it in Oz. I look up customs but need interpreter!!
