If you’ve stumbled across this article, there’s a good chance you have heard about the recent CBD craze.
As I’m just getting back from a tropical holiday getaway, I’ve been away from emails from you guys for a while.
Needless to say, the second I popped open my inbox, I was immediately flooded with hundreds of emails asking me if I heard about CBD and if I was able to try it.
Well, today is your lucky day because I used CBD oil in the past for the very reason and as such, I believe I can give you an honest review of the stuff.
So without further adieu, let’s get right into it.
My Experience with CBD Hemp Oil: What You Can Expect
As many of you may know from reading, I was a college athlete and played for most of my life.
While it was an amazing experience, one which I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world, it didn’t come without some setbacks…
Throughout my career, I’ve had to deal with 3 torn ACLs and their accompanying surgeries and rehab. Not too fun.
Making matters even worse, during one of those tears, I partially tore the meniscus and some of the articular cartilage on the medial side of my knee.
While a torn meniscus usually isn’t a big deal (they can just trim the frayed edge off), the shredded articular cartilage proved to be one of the most nagging problems I’ve ever dealt with.
When you tear your articular cartilage, that means that your bare bone is exposed and starts to run on the opposite side of your leg. (Mine was on the femur, so it rubbed against the tibia). This causes an immense amount of pain.
Also, since the meniscus is torn, there is no way to cushion the weight you put on it when you do everyday activities like walk down the stairs or get out of your car.
Later when I got an MRI on the knee, I was told by the doc that I had arthritis due to the Articular cartilage being exposed. Since there is no meniscus cover it, it would slowly degrade until I would need a knee replacement.
NOT what I wanted to hear.
Tough as it was, I was stuck with it and needed to find out a way to get rid of the pain, and FAST.
Getting Rid of Chronic Pain: Your Options
So once I got back home from the doc, I did what many of you may have don too. I started to research options to deal with this pain.
The first and most obvious solution to my particular problem was surgery. They have procedures that can restore that part of the knee and it seemed like my only shot.
But there was one problem.
I was still recovering from the knee surgery I just got to replace the torn ACL. Because of this, I had to wait until I was fully healed from that before considering another surgery.
And that would be another 6 months at least.
So knowing I couldn’t deal with this amount of pain for that long, I reluctantly crossed that off my list.
Another option for you could be advil. Now for some reason, over-the-counter meds just don’t seem to do the job for me.
They might work for you, if so great. But I doubt you want to be popping 4 pills a day for the rest of your life, especially when long term use can lead to liver problems (bad news if you are a moderate drinker)
NEXT….
The next logical solution you may have thought of is to rehabilitate your painful area with exercise. And this is usually a good option.
But rehab is best for preventing future injuries as well as patching up acute light to moderate pain.
This would be an excellent solution for you if God came to you in a vision and gave you a good ol’ heads up that you would be dealing with some back pain in your future.
Most of us don’t have that luxury. You likely are already dealing with chronic pain right now so rehabbing it with exercise won’t be much help for you.
CBD Hemp Oil: The Hail Mary
Looking at my options and knowing that I couldn’t get surgery for another 6 months, I was starting to freak out. This pain was just absolutely UNBEARABLE. And I dealt with it everyday.
But, thankfully, that would all change with one visit to the gym.
Now back when I had this injury, I had a cousin who was an amateur boxer. And a pretty damn good one too. He had 9 victories, all of them knockouts and 4 in the first round with no losses. The kid was a straight up prodigy.
He would go train in the gym almost everyday for about 3 hours after work so needless to say, he was a pretty active guy.
And as some of you know, when you train at that intensity, you are very prone to some overuse injuries.
He would have problems with his wrists and his lower back. For some reason, it seemed he was always dealing with a sprained wrist.
Since he was training everyday and was trying to go pro, he really didn’t want to take time off to let it heal.
But somehow, he pushed through it. And I found out how…
One day when I was picking him up at the gym, he threw his bag in the back seat of my car.
A tiny green bottle slipped out and rolled on the backseat. The shiny green label caught my eye so I asked him what it was.
He said that it was a bottle of Ocanna CBD Oil that his trainer gave him to deal with his chronic pain in his wrists and his lower back.
Immediately curious, I asked him if it worked. He said it worked like a charm.
Desperate and out of options I decided to give it a shot.
Dosing CBD Hemp Oil: My Experience
I was lucky that my cousin was a nice guy because he let me bring the bottle back to my place to try it out.
Impatient and raring to go, I went ahead and took it as soon as I got through the door.
And what I felt next I would never forget.
About 20 minutes after my first does, I started to feel a warm wave go over my body. It started at my toes then slowly worked its way up to my knees, then my face.
It felt absolutely incredible. While there wasn’t instantaneous pain relief, I made me feel extremely relaxed and happy.
However, the real benefits didn’t show up until the next day.
When I rolled out of bed the following morning, I noticed something weird.
I didn’t say “Ouch!” when I put my right foot down!
Waiting a few seconds before I took my next step to make sure it was real, I then started to head for my door…
One… Two … Three steps and still nothing. I couldn’t believe what I was feeling.
Now I want to make something absolutely clear. While it didn’t totally eliminate all my pain, It felt MUCH better than before.
And keep in my I had exposed bone in my knee. If you are dealing with another other type of chronic pain, I have no doubt this will get rid of your pain.
