When I started developing a severe carpal tunnel in one of my wrists, I was scared that I would soon run out of ways to mitigate the pain.
I was already taking lots of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, but it wasn’t enough.
The biggest help was finding a quality wrist brace that would stabilize the area enough where I could still use both of my hands when working at my computer. I found these wrist straps at first that are used by musicians and artists because they don’t restrict the range of motion in your wrist as much as larger braces. If you just need a tiny bit of support, these are perfect. However, I soon found that the wrist straps were not enough. I graduated to a full wrist support brace and was fine at first. It seemed to stabilize the area completely and I’d be mostly painless while working. When the pain started to slowly come back to some degree, I was in despair not knowing how I would move forward. I feel so thankful that my pharmacist noticed my brace the other day and asked me if I had ever tried CBD topical products before. It wasn’t my first time learning about hemp, but I had never actually bought CBD before in my life. Regardless, I was willing to try anything at this point and happily bought the CBD salve that his pharmacy carried. It was so effective at relieving my breakthrough wrist pain that I started buying similar CBD topical products at some of the CBD stores in my area.
