I take CBD oil 1000mg 3 times.I am in BC,Canada so lots of 'pot shops' around. I have only taken Oxycodone following surgeries but only for a couple of days. I was trained Psychiatric nurse for all my working life so have seen what addiction does and I never wanted to go there. For many yrs I took Ibuprofen and Tylenol together but got worried about those when i stared with palpitations. I have been on Tramacet for many yrs after that but those made me short tempered. My husband of 39yrs is a saint for putting up with me. I managed to work till I was 58yrs old with lots of pain and stubbornness but after joint replacements to both thumbs it became difficult when a patient would become aggressive and needed to be dealt with quick ie injection,i couldn't draw things up fast enough.Then my back got so bad that I couldnt't sit to do charts on nights so early retirement was my only option. My advice to anyone is work as long as you can because retirement has made me worse as I now sit on the sofa scrolling through the TV pages and my back issues are sooooo much worse. The lady in the pot shop told me CBD doesn't work on pain for everyone but others have reported to her that they continue to take it as they feel better but can't put it into words. My 38yr son has started taking it ,he is a heavy Duty mechanic and hurt his neck and shoulder ,he now has the same pain I started with, My 46yr old daughter has had neck/shoulder pain for quiet a few yrs now and sits with a heat pad constantly when she is at home, My 48yr daughter has back issues so is in constant pain. So far only my 36yr old daughter is free of it.My gran always had a heat lamp sat at the back of the house which she used every night and my mum was crippled with pain from Osteoarthritis and well as chronic pain.SO, it looks like it's hereditary in my family but there isn't one Dr that wants to look into that I just feel they deal with the pain but not why or what's causing it really .I would say try CBD and for a few mths on a regualr basis to see if it really works, don't miss a dose.
