Over the years I seldom leave a review. I value my reputation and recognize that if someone makes a decision using my review and s/he has a poor experience it could negatively affect my reputation.
This is an exception.
Tennis over the years has destroyed my knees, hips, and shoulder. It certainly wasn’t worth the glory on the court, but I digress.
My medicine approaches to pain relief and swelling reduction included IB, diclofenac, meloxicam (none of which are good for the kidneys and may also cause bleeding), cortisone shots (which work really well, but must be limited in use due to potential liver damage), aspirin, acetaminophen, combinations thereof, and also included other desperate experiments such as **** turmeric capsules, turmeric essential oil mixed with an NSAID topical cream and CBD cream.
After reading about CBD gum in a publicly traded company filing, I tried CBD infused gum.
Anecdotally, I believe the combination of topical NSAID cream, turmeric oil, CBD cream, and a CBD gum during the day has positively impacted the pain AND swelling in my knees and shoulder!
The pain and swelling seemed lessened further when the gum was added to the regimen.
Disclosure: None of my efforts were done under controlled scientific methodologies and others may not experience a similar impact.
