My girlfriend’s dad gave me a 2,000mg can of this CBD rub the other night and told me to give it a try.
For a little background, I’ve been dealing with a shoulder injury for about six months. Tendinosis, edema/atrophy, degenerating joints with osteolysis, a small rotator cuff tear, “weightlifter’s shoulder,” osteoarthritis, a pretty good-sized labrum tear… the list goes on and on.
Long story short, I was not exactly gentle or kind to my body when I was younger. I grew up riding and crashing dirt bikes, ditching school to go snowboarding, convincing myself I was going to be the next big Jackass TV star, and then I joined the military. Now that I’m pushing closer to 40, my joints can apparently predict rain better than the Weather Channel.
With all these injuries piling up, my medicine cabinet looks like it belongs to its own pharmacy. I hate having to rely on enough opioids to take down a woolly mammoth just to get some mild relief and be able to enjoy time with my family. Even then, the relief is temporary. It’s frustrating knowing that something I depend on to function is also taking a toll on me.
So when I looked at this little container of 2,000mg CBD rub, I honestly laughed and thought, “Sure, I’ll try it,” but I had absolutely zero expectations.
I got home that night with my elbows throbbing and my shoulder feeling like someone had shoved a handful of porcupine quills into it. I was putting on a smile and acting like everything was fine when, honestly, all I wanted to do was scream.
I rubbed a small amount onto the areas that were hurting.
The smell of cloves started filling the room.
About 45 seconds later…
The throbbing stopped.
The stabbing sensation was gone.
I literally sat there thinking, “There is no fucking way.”
I ended up having relief for the rest of the night without taking another pill.
The next morning, I woke up and, sure enough, the throbbing and misery were back. I thought maybe the relief the night before had somehow been in my head.
So I put some on again.
About 45 seconds later…
Gone again.
I’ve been searching for something that could give me this kind of relief for a long time, and honestly, I’m still kind of shocked that this little can of CBD rub made such a noticeable difference for me.
I know everyone is different and I’m only speaking from my own experience, but this stuff has been a fucking game changer for me.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I seriously can’t say it enough.
