Arthritis and CBD cream

Posted by cfbauer @cfbauer, Nov 7, 2022

I have worked with my hands my whole life and now am experiencing pain in both the left and right first c-mc joints and first mc-p joints.
Has anyone had success with CBD creams?

Thank you for your response. Do you know what make of walk in tub he has ? There are so many different makes on the market. And is it deep enough to allow one to submerge their shoulders ?
I appreciate any additional information.
Thank you

Tramadol is an addictive narcotic and, in my opinion, excessive for the degree of pain I have.
I have no worries about addiction and feel something more benign (like cbd cream) might be a better choice.

Tramadol is a joke, only addictive in a placebo setting. CBD oils are a topical and don't reach the deep muscle. The practice of mixing tropicals and DMSO and applying this mixture to the area has been effctive.

What is the problem of taking Tramadol, Is it too strong for moderate pain?

Most doctors do not suggest anymore from what a friend told me. Her doctor took her off of it because it was addictive.

Tramadol is no joke. You are spreading misinformation! Having a PhD in biochemistry and pharmacology, I can assure you that, as a synthetic opioid, it is very addictive.

I’ve used CBD cream for joint and muscle pain and found it very effective. I usually apply 2 sometimes 3 times a day. No side effects.

I appreciate your credentials; however, I have not had an addictive experience with Tramadol. I do not take it unless my pain is unmanageable. I take it irregularly when in crisis and I do not take it when all is well. I have been off it for over two months with no interest in taking it. I am not disagreeing with you about the addiction. It just has not been my experience and there goes the problem. Those who do become addicted prohibits those of us who do not get addicted from being prescribed Tramadol when in crisis. Fortunately that has not been my experience. I have tried the over the counter rubs without success, Tylenol and surgeon felt like the problem was too extensive and risky. I exercise daily, resistance & stretches and have had great success with PT. Is there a safer pain option for degenerate disk disease? Thank you for your input.

I have no issue with people being prescribed Tramadol or other potentially addictive drugs that ameliorate pain. I have used Tramadol after a major surgery that resulted in extreme discomfort and was very grateful for it's availability . Your use of this drug is exactly as it should be! My prior comment addressed the absurd mention that Tramadol is a joke, only addictive in a placebo setting. I, like you, am thankful for it's availability when used judiciously.

Hot wax dip and/or plug in manicure mitts give temporary relief as well as CBD crème.

My experience with Tramadol was very displeasing
as it was no more than a drink of water. I also call it
a joke - just a money maker for big boys.
Delta8 Gummies work well for me and it is not addictive. Arthritis ate up the cartilage in both knees
and that causes pain.
I continue to search for natural meds.
