Prelude
One of Cannabis's side effects that I've found in myself is painkilling for much of the MonSter's effects within my body. I do credit it largely for my being upright and mobile in this active MS'ed up life I live, 18 years closer to death than I was at diagnoses. Yesterday for example, I sat through a very important meeting with the British Columbia Emergency Medicine Network designing "Exit" forms. I did this wearing my "Patient Voices Network of BC" hat, my community hats of MS and the Handy Circle Resources Society for 6 hrs. We all would love to be discharged from emergency care fast with a smooth ride from the entrance door gurney to home again for wellness. I had smoked at least 2 joints in the early AM before my meeting and was feeling quite good when I arrived to the meeting. It had nothing to do with the cream I will discuss on this post. As soon as I returned home, the person who had gifted this cream to me was asking for a review. OK. So I wrote it. "Post it on my FB Page", she requested. I uploaded a PDF. "Not good", she said, "PDF Too large". "OK" I replied "I'll post it to my MS Blog and share that to your page". Smh. OK, here's the post.What is Cannabis Pain Salve and how would you use it?
An independent non-government source had provided me a sample of some Cannabis infused salve for me to try on areas of my body where pain happens. This jar appears to contain an infusion of Lavender and Cannabis enriched oils. Nice. I have some condition deep in my elbow, no doubt because of my flat workspace from my laptop computer. Meh. Anyway as soon as I put the cream on the elbow, I could feel it working. As I rubbed it in, the pain was almost instantly reduced. After a span of a few days, it was gone, as long as I kept myself from leaning on my elbows. I do have to talk to my doctor about that part of my body, Pain does mean there is a problem that could be fixed now or long term care later if I wait. I had some dry skin on the back of my hand too. It did help that area hydrate. But why would you believe just me?A second and third opinion
I spread the salve on another lady’s back. She had a deep bruise across the rear of the shoulder blade with no outward discoloration at that time. She reported a similar reaction to the pain reduction which overcame the pain of initial discovery of the bruise, which then healed painlessly fast after a heavy application of the cream. Her friend had a medical problem with her lower spine and took a handful of salve, smearing it down there. She reported it did help above her non-effective painkillers about as fast as me and the second lady.
