For the past few years, I’ve had issues with arthritis in my hands.
The symptoms flare up at particular times of the year.
My fingers swell plus my knuckles ache. It can be hard to make a fist. I struggle with everyday tasks such as buttoning a overcoat, tying my shoes or braiding my air. It’s nearly impossible to open jars. Typing on my iPad is painful. That becomes a substantial problem, because I labor by way of my iPad. I considered a potential prescription from a healthcare expert, however was unwilling to risk the long-term side-effects. I try to stay away from synthetic pharmaceuticals plus cherish more natural remedies. When I was researching potential treatments, I came across success stories from arthritis sufferers who had turned to medical marijuana. Reading those convinced me to arrange an appointment with a local healthcare expert who provides medical marijuana recommendations. The process to get my MMJ card wasn’t all that hard or time-consuming. The cost was a bit discouraging, plus the card is only valid for one year. However, it gave me access to a wide assortment of medical cannabis at the local dispensary. I have found that a combination of tinctures, edibles plus topicals labor well to alleviate my symptoms. I apply cannabis-infused ointments directly to my sore fingers. With sublingual absorption of the cannabinoids, tinctures offer fast-acting effects. The edibles take a few hours to supply relief however include long-lasting plus more intense effects. I choose products with a higher CBD to THC ratio, cBD has proven effective in treating chronic pain plus inflammation.
