Yes. I was not surprised to see it tied for first place.

I’ll watch this a bit later, thanks guy! I imagine our Canyon Bakehouse came in high on the list…

Good Morning Haikugal!

I’m glad you are finding some relief. I just don’t let the socks and sandals thing bother me. Sometimes we have no choice. Like last week when my feet looked like balloons. I could only get my slides on part way and shoes were out of the question.

I think I have seen the walkers you speak of. That look like a good deal.

Hi guy, sorry this took so long but I didn’t get an alert so it took a while to find your post.

I’m really happy to hear you have found relief from your pain and have a treatment plan. I hope you can go fishing soon.

I continue to get healing of the tissue around my open wound on my toe. I’ve been wearing sandals with socks for a couple of years…[Read more]

Nothing corrected the gout attacks until I finally had an appointment with a rheumatologist. She put me back on the Allopurinol plus regular full time steroids. I no longer have those nasty gout attacks!

The rheumatologist is planning to ween me off of the steroids now, or soon. It depends on what my blood test says. I had kidney stones yesterday…[Read more]

Hi guy! How are you doing now? Did you find a magnesium that works for you?

Keep lobbying your insurance company and give your doctor some research. CBD has two factors (CBD-1, which affects more central nervous system, and DBD-2, which is shown to affect peripherally related inflammatory diseases, such as breathing, and I’m guessing the tissue around the joints). I have spoken with some doctors in PA who are working on…[Read more]

Thanks for all the answers. Looks like I have a number of possibilities; I’ll keep trying until I’m successful with one.

Really appreciate the input, everyone!

I’m not sure if I have arthritis but I have other issues that involve pain and inflammation. I use the highest mg CBD oil and I’ve tried going without (because it’s pricey) and I found out many of the aches and pains I’d grown accustom to live without came back after a couple of weeks. Yes, it helps and I wish the insurance would help with the cost.

My Ma in Law 78 years young, has severe arthritis in her fingers, they look like they were once broken and never reset. Her Knuckles look gnarly. She constantly knits, where she can move them and they don’t stiffen up.

I got her some CBD cream a while back, didn’t tell her what it was. She tried it and loves it. After @ 3 weeks, she was bragging…[Read more]

I use it for arthritic neck and knee pain. I can’t state definitively that it alone has helped, but both areas are significantly improved. There are other factors involved: monthly chiropractic care and finding the right pillow combination for my neck, but I believe it has helped.

I get mine from Wellspring. The brand I get is Dixie Dew Drops. I…[Read more]

Yes. I have mild osetoarthritis, migraines, and a few other inflammatory conditions. I started using a pure CBD oil called Avidekel a few years ago, and it was good but not great. So the nurse-advisor at my dispensary suggested a  CBD/THC strain called Midnight. That’s worked a lot better. I can only take it at night, because it makes me pretty…[Read more]

Same here. There must be better options.

I will look into CBD oil this week.

Yes. My mother takes a full spectrum cannabis extract oil(feco) which contains mostly CBD with a small amount of THC(10 to 1 ratio).  Not sure about the effects of pure CBD oil, and some argue that a little THC in entourage with CBD makes for better medicine. Arthritis and sleep are the two things it helps most for her.   Good luck.

I would like to know, too.  My doctor seems to only care if I get a mammogram and a flu shot.  I think the insurance company wants her to check off those boxes.  But arthritis in my hip?  “Maybe try Advil”  “Maybe get a cane”.
