Alcohol isn't an anti-inflammatory. I've developed some bad (trending worse) osteoarthritis in my lower back. I don't want to be on Advil all the time. If CBD oil can help manage it, then I would without a doubt use it.
Still on the fence though and I'd really wait for a doctor's (neurosurgeon) recommendation. Is it a cure? No, there are no cures. It's just about managing pain and not being wasted at work.
I'm in the same boat. I have nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) from chemotherapy. Traditional treatments are useless and a lot of the meds are as bad as, if not worse than the neuropathy. There are some promising non-medicinal treatments, but they're expensive and insurance doesn't cover them because they're experimental.
I've been playing with the idea of trying CBD oil, but I'd like to have more information. On the fence is exactly right.
I'd just like to not hurt a little of the time.
