How I Found CBD
One Friday morning around 15 years ago I awoke to the worst pain I’d ever suffered. The pain started in my neck, making me tilt my head to the left, and radiated down my arm into my fingers. I was fortunate that a family friend was a doctor, so he got me some medication to help with the pain. After a few weeks with visits to a neurosurgeon, physical therapy, and an MRI, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc at the C6-7 level (The base of my neck).
I was on a whole handful of pills to try to function through the pain - a muscle relaxant (Flexeril), Neurontin, and Norco, an opioid painkiller. Eventually, with the help of the physical therapy and time, the pain subsided enough that I was down to “just” the Norco. I continued on Norco until November 2017.
In October of that year, I had a broken wisdom tooth extracted. In the days following, I developed “dry socket.” I had my Norco, but now my dose of 2 capsules a day wasn’t enough for the excruciating pain. I’d read about CBD so I decided to give it a try.
I took my last Norco a month later.
