Cannabis
Related: About this forumOn a scale of 1 to 10, my pain level is -1 right now.
I turn 70 this year and my secret is the 5 mile jog this morning and my Medical 2 tokes every night and 2 to 3 times a day I'm putting 4 drops of CBD Tincture under my tongue.
feel free to ask me anything.

(14,653 posts)Coming up on 70 this year also. My low back is toast from dragging beached whales across X-ray tables for 40+ years. If I jog I'm a mess, so I just walk for 30 min in the morning and evening. Problem with cannabis is I loose all motivation. I just sit around like a lump... . Other than that I'm fit as a horse.. I'm on NO meds.. All numbers good..
I have not tried CBD yet. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I miss running.

(34,071 posts)Ok, I do a very slow jog, 14 minute miles and I made a 1/10 mile track in my back yard which is soft, sandy loam. The only time my knee hurts is after I go for the record time. I've stopped doing that.
I worked a hard physical job for 30 years, the last 4 working in a rail yard. My back always gave me problems. I always tried to lift with my legs and not my back. Then I hurt my knee and now lift with my back and all that pain went away.
My friends call my Two Puff because that is all I ever do. Now only after the sun goes down. Two puffs put me to sleep and 3 or more keeps me awake and my mind running. I have friends that are way more intelligent than me that smoke all day. If I do that I just get dumber, so I limit it.
The CBD tincture does not get me high at all. But it does improve my affect.
It does require a Medical card here in Michigan.
I would suggest trying the CBD for a week or two just to see what happens.
Best of luck
