I had serious, aches and pains in my arms and legs 3 months ago, I eventually got a GP appointment and after a blood test, diagnosed with PMR, Poly Myalgia Rumatica, so a 4 month course of Predisnilone, ( a steroid ) after 2 days all joint pains disappeared, and I was able to get back on my motor bike. I am 69.
Steroids are used for all sorts of inflammatory conditions.
I’ve been prescribed it many times over the years and it does feel like a miracle drug at reducing pain and increasing mobility. Unfortunately doctors will only prescribe it sparingly and are reluctant to use it long term due to it’s horrendous side effects if taken for a long time or in high doses, so it’s unsuitable for most long conditions.
I’ve got several painful inflammatory conditions and have had several treatments, including steroids, over the years. I’m now on biologics drugs which help to control the conditions but don’t really overcome all of the pain in my damaged joints so I am also prescribed some pretty strong painkillers. I’m reluctant to take these on a regular basis as they can lead to dependency. I therefore now take CBD every night and it does help.
Cannabis has been used for centuries to help with pain. It still is in many parts of the world but since 1928 it has been illegal in the UK unless you have special dispensation, which is rarely given. However, as has been said, CBD, the ‘good’ compounds of cannabis left once others compounds such as THC, the compound that gets you ‘high’ has been extracted, is legal.
The main problem with CBD is getting it at the right strength to help. Many of the products available in the UK have so little CBD that they are useless or are recommended in the wrong amounts. It pays to do some research then shop around. There is some very good advice here

Well all's good I'm pleased to say for both me and my beloved as it's easing our pains to the point of not needing pain killers.
I got the one we are using from Holland and Barrett It's Jacob Hooy 10mgs, they have all sorts but we are using the capsols which I bought after chatting to a retired doctor friend and he said to give it a try so we did.

10mg strength isn't much for severe pain. The one I take as a spray underneath your tongue (and it tastes horrible, but works!) is 500mgs CBD and CBDa. It's Dutch CBD oil by a firm called Love CBD and it's strong and expensive. But it works. I bought mine from our local health food shop but you can buy it online as well.

I took it for pain, didn't help much.
The downside of it for the sleep benefits is that I built a tolerance for it, like people do with caffeine. That and I feel a bit groggy the next morning and need a few cups of tea.
Would you be worried about driving the next morning, or is it not the stuff that you might get tested for, if I have asked that correctly?

What is CBD? I've seen RA and MS mentioned, but what does it do? The mrs has RA, but has never - knowingly, had CBD for it.
