When my mom came home from the hospital, she was in a lot of pain.
- It was bad enough that she had the pain of having open heart surgery, but since she wasn’t walking as much, her arthritis was really causing her a lot of pain.
Tylenol was taking the edge off the pain, but not enough to make her comfortable getting up out of her charge and walking as the doctor ordered. I asked our pharmacist what I could get for her, that wouldn’t interfere with her heart medications. The pharmacist was hesitant to give me any information, and that’s when I noticed they had CBD products on the counter. I picked up some CBD multi-flavored gummies and a bottle of CBD tincture in blueberry flavor that mom could put under tongue. The pharmacist smiled when I made the purchase. I took my CBD products home , and took them out of the bag. I showed mom what I had purchased and that I thought it would help with the arthritis pain. I promised that it didn’t have any marijuana THC in it, but only the CBD that helped with pain. She tried the gummies and later that night she put some CBD tincture under her tongue. When she woke up in the morning, she said she had slept better than she had in weeks. She asked if she could have another gummy after breakfast so she could go for a walk outside in about an hour. The CBD was helping mom to feel better and she was finally beginning to heal since she could walk around.
