On 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.

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.

6. About 6 years ago the Ortho doc said I'd never run again.

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
