I have osteoarthritis and it's everywhere used to joke only place it's not is my hair! About 10/12 wks ago my hip and lower back became sore pain going into groin and down past knee. It's only on one side Im sore all the time particularly at night tried everything legal that I can. I'm wondering has anyone tried canibis? Seriously thinking of this now quality of life badly affected. Going to Dr's to ask about it today. My wee grandson was crying for his Nanna she died in November it was his big sisters birthday at wkend. I couldn't even lift him to comfort him ๐Ÿ˜ข

At best, it makes folks mean and nasty.

Ah. That explains a lot about someone.

I hope you get on alright with that one, I tried that too but it just makes me zonk out even at the lowest dose. I only weigh 50 kg, so am very slight and most things knock me out. Good luck

Statins are not a good medication, look up plant sterols on British Supplements and read the reviews.

Statins are not painkillers which is what this thread is about

CBD drinks (drinkables) are good for pain after the doctor has taken away all of your pain remedies, as they tend to do. Just keep your dosing below 5mg per six hours as to not get "high".

Cingulotomy is another option but I would be too afraid to try that.

I googled it, as I had not heard of it, and it does seem rather extreme. I'll stick with the painkillers.
