Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

So sorry to hear that you are among the "walking wounded," but it does my heart good to learn that the Fibro Cream brought you some needed relief.

Very good. I’m glad it helps. Take care.

@elizm Thanks for the suggestion f the Topricin Fibro cream. I ordered it from Walmart online after taking a bad fall on a walk/hike a couple of days ago. Due to the AIs, my joints are stiff and painful and I think that's why my ankle went out on me. I was able to finish getting around the lake but have been in a lot of pain due to scraping up right arm, left leg, sprained the left wrist and pulled the left shoulder. Got the Topricin today and put it on my wrist and shoulder...most of the pain in my wrist is gone and my shoulder is feeling better. I'm going to put some on my hands before bed to see if that will help them as well. Thanks for letting us know about this product!

Hi, Kathy. One of the products which I have learned to appreciate is a homeopathic one, recommended by my chiropractor -- Topricin's Fibro Cream. Its active ingredients basically are arnica and echinacea. I use it here and there and it seems to soothe. (Find it on Amazon.) It's a thought.

Sadly it is not legal in Nebraska. I had heard from someone that the cream had also helped her back pain. I was just curious if it had worked for anyone. My hands are the worst.

I have been using CBD oil since November, primarily for arthritis in my hips, and yes, it does help. It does not alleviate all discomfort, but it certainly makes it easier for me to be active. When I started the folks I bought it from advised that it would take 5-7 days for me to notice a difference. And that was about right. I also use the cream at times for sore muscles. CBD oil does work for me as an anti-inflammatory. As others have said, be careful what you buy, there is just hemp oil, which is not the same. Buy from a reputable distributor. There are also different concentrations, so pay attention to that also, I’ve seen bottles of 250, 500, 750, 1000 mg. Then there is the question of dosage, best to start lower and work up if you need to. Best advice is to go to a cbd store and talk with the folks there, or do an online chat with someone from one of these reputable companies. It took me awhile to understand some of the nuances and differences in products. Good luck!

Hi, Kathy
CBD has been available here for a while now. The issue, in my view, is obtaining products which actually contain it. As you know, CBD oil is not regulated (like supplements), and a number of groups have tested some products. They concluded that most did not label their jars/bottles/containers as to contents/ingredients, or they labeled them without noting percentages, etc. and that there were various results from the testing (including some products which contained no CBD).

I was interested in something which might relieve the burning from my CIPN. The first product which I bought provided zero relief. The second was a gift and it was okay but unimpressive. The last jar I purchased seems to help with the burning in my fingertips (after 20-30 minutes), but not my feet. One might say caveat emptor, but it's not like distributors allow you to pre-test. The point here is that you may spend your money on something like hemp oil or CBD, but there is no guarantee as to what is going to be in the bottle (it might be 98% coconut oil for example).

@kathyomaha55 Just as a note of caution, check with your doctor before using. In my cancer group, it was mentioned that CBD could lower immunity.

Cbd oil did not to relieve my joint pain

It is legal in Wisconsin as long as there is no THC in it. The cream version works great for me. But everyone's different. I would give it a try.
