“Yes I am one of those who is telling the world that I love what CBD has done for my back pain-after 3 years of horrible pain, its gone!”
I had tried everything from contemplating surgery, doing acupuncture 2 times a week, massages, physical therapy (twice), yoga, heat pads and all the Aleve I could stand only to have either temporary pain relief or none at all!
My journey started 3 years ago when I started having a dull stabbing pain in my left buttock. Then it started down the side of my leg and eventually the pain worsened so that standing and walking became an excruciating pain in my body. Sciatica? Well, read on…
I first went to a surgeon and was told at 62, I was in great shape and that surgery of a plastic implant in my spine would do the trick. BUT, the doctor told me something I would hear repeatedly over the next three years-hold off on surgery. You are in excellent shape at 62 and can work through the pain. I was told it was sciatica, or the nerve in piriformis was being pinched. I had one MRI done until February 2019 when I had 5 different tests including MRI’s, Bone density, pinched nerve test (that was fun, they jiggle a needle up and down your leg in different spots to test nerve sensitivity!)
ENTER CBD OIL!
While I was waiting for my test results, I was given a bottle to try by a family friend who actually sells CBD products. I put the recommended dosage of drops under my tongue twice a day. Definitely my anxiety level was helped, but not much pain relief. Then I tried rubbing it on the area where I had the pain but no results.
A week later my medical tests were in and they showed that I did not have sciatica but pinched nerves in my lower back from age related degenerative disease. Surprise! The surgeon told me I would have a 95% success possibility if surgery was performed but I wasn’t convinced yet. I wanted to still try the CBD oil and give it more time or just try different way to take it.
I thought what if I just rubbed the CBD oil on the area where the nerves were pinched instead of where I had the pain and YAY!-within minutes the pain was almost gone! I used it 2 times a day for about 2 weeks and then just once a day. It comes in a dropper so after I squeezed the dropper under my tongue, whatever was left in the dropper I put in the palm of my hand and rubbed my lower back with it. Voila! The combination worked!
I use Charlotte’s Web Hemp Oil and have been told that this is pharmaceutical grade. After a year now, I only take the oil a couple of times a week. Amazing how I feel now.
I hope this works for you like it did me. I just feel like this has been a secret for too long. I also rub it on my face and hands just for the feel of it. I’ve been told I have glowing skin, maybe this is part of that…
The results can be life changing if it works for you like it did me. We probably would not have an opioid epidemic if we all knew about the benefits this oil can bring.
Bottom line, I was told in had pinched nerves in my lower back S1,L4 and this CBD oil has relieved that pain to almost nothing. “It’s pricier than some but worth it. “
