I guess a lot of people who struggle miserably with chronic pain.
My former boss had a back injury in his 20s that left him with on and off pain for the rest of his life.
He was a proper user of lidocaine pain patches, however you can’t use them for 24 hours a afternoon because of the effect they have on the circulatory system. Some people will get cortisone shots near the affected areas to dull swelling and pain, however these labor in varying degrees. Unluckyly, there are some people who have to be on pain medications regardless of alternative options. Obviously you want to avoid long term use of opiates at the risk of developing an addiction. That’s largely why so many people are quick to refuse these medications outright, even if their dentists suggest them following an unexpected injury. Luckily, there is now an alternative out there for pain relief if people don’t wish to use opiates under any situation. The cannabinoid CBD is proving to be severely effective at pain relief in a number of odd applications. The medical uses for CBD are really well established at this point. It is even prescribed by some dentists to patients with chronic epilepsy to fantastic effects. My sibling has a lot of hip pain and says that CBD is the best medication short of morphine for treating his chronic discomfort. I’ve used CBD before, although I love traditional cannabis which has a high THC satisfied. You can purchase hemp flower products which contain the same terpenes as traditional marijuana, however instead often lack the same amount of THC that is found in traditional marijuana.
