CBD oil for stiff joints?

12 Replies

Hello ladies.

May I consult with you all for advice on how to manage or relieve the stiffness in joints due to cancer treatment please?

It's been over a month now since I started my new regimen Zoladex + Fulvestrant and Piqray in October. After two rounds of Zoladex and Fulvestrant shots, I feel that my body just aged for 20 more years. My skin, eyes and everything get dried out and my joints especially knees are extremely stiff. Now I cannot stand straight for 15 minutes or walk for 30 minutes without sitting down for rest. I hear crack sound every time when I bend. I used to be pretty flexible and now I am as stiff as a stick 😭

Do you have any recommendations or suggestions that you could share with me about this? I have heard a lot of people using CBD oils or creams for arthritis. Do you think perhaps that I should try CBD? Has any of you had a positive experience using CBD for this type of symptom? I would be extremely grateful if there are any insights, tips or recommendations that you could kindly share with me about this!

Thank you all so much in advance!!

With love & gratitude,

April

Hi! I used a cbd topical salve when I was having back issues-pre-cancer. I have used it a few times since being dx'd and taking Letrozole and Ibrance combo. I did find some relief when I used it. My husband and all his golfing buddies use it also for their ailments and that is how I learned of it. 😂 I buy it at a local cbd shop. Blessings!

hi Hope- just writing as I am on recently put on lupron ( competitor to zoladex) and after faslodex went on aromasin ( cousin to letrozole) And I feel like the Tim man in need of oil.. I may squeak and seize up from tiredness! I think the gummies with THC may help. So tired!

Cbd cream didn't help me. Voltaren cream helps my boyfriend with his pain and Aspercreme helps me sometimes.

CBD cream works pretty fast but I don't get any relief with the oil.. I just buy Hempvana cream at the drug store. The oil has to be kept in the refrigerator so it isn't as convenient.
