I too was skeptical of the CBD oil, until I tried it. First, I got the bottle with dropper and tried 2 drops under my tongue. Amazingly, in about a half hour the pain in my shoulder had subsided by about 75%. Next day, I decided to try it on a thumb knuckle. Again, in less than a half hour the pain had decreased a whole lot, and most of all the movement in the knuckle was restored with a lot less pain, almost normal. i'm no spokesman for the company, many varieties of CBD are available on Amazon. I would suggest shopping to see what fits your needs and pocket book. The first one I tried works well for me. About $20. P.S. I'm 72 yrs.
