I have arthritis issues. Not bad enough to go to specialist but I have had a script for Celebrex for years.  I don't like to take Celebrex, or anything that can harm my kidneys, very often.  I have tried creams, tylenol arthritis etc. but looking into CBD gummies.  I have googled and researched but would love to hear from someone who take them for joint problems.  Anyone?  Thank you!

I have never tried the gummies, however I have had good luck with PLUS CBD roll on.  My sister has rheumatoid arthritis and swears by it.  

I hope you can find something that works for you rather than the Celebrex. 

All the best~

Yes I take CBD gummies--1 each night to help me calm down before I go to sleep. It's not an overnight fix but takes months to know if it does anything. I also use Voltaren gel for my achy joints-that works very well but does take a few days to actually feel a difference. Go to a Green shop and ask about your issues--those folks know their stuff.

I have not taken the CBD gummies but have done the CBN gummies. The Trusted Lab is my resource. I alternate between CBN and Melatonin.

I take 20 mg. capsules from Suns Oil, one morning and one before bed.  I find a difference in my RA symptoms.  Not a cure, but I do get relief.  They also help me sleep better at night.

There was a period when I quit them, wondering if they worked, and my joint pain in fact increased.  So I continue the regimen.  I find Suns Oil's prices to be reasonable. They offer gummies and topicals.  I don't work for them I just like that the products are from a sustainable organic farm in Vermont.

@PilatesLover Do they help with your other RA symptoms? Brain fog and fatigue are two that really effect my life when I am not on Xeljanz.

I take a gummie, every night before bed and I sleep like a baby. I order from Gift of Nature and they do contain THC.

@wagirl Volteran works very quickly for me and now that it is that its OTc it is much easier to use, I have used it off and on for years

@We rescue cats  I can't attest if they help with the fatigue part of it - maybe a little because I'm sleeping better, and feeling rested helps to reduce overall inflammation in the body.  

Right now it's difficult to tell because I got put back on Methotrexate a couple months ago, and the fatigue on days 1 and 2 after my dose are almost crippling.

I do feel the "legal" CBD helps me with overall inflammation levels.  I noticed it more when I stopped taking it - a definite increase in pain in my hands - so I went right back on it.  It's subtle but I'll take anything.

My rheumatologist gave me a medical card for THC when she stopped me from taking NSAIDS.  I don't enjoy getting stoned, but I find a few drops of the tincture when I get home from work helps me relax and manage the pain a little better without getting high.  Sadly, I don't think the THC is as effective as steroids and NSAIDS but those have done so much damage to my body that I had to stop both.

Thank you to everyone.  I have a kidney problem that is hereditary.  I have blood in my urine so I try to be careful of any kind of meds---script or OTC.  I have gummies with THC  -  they are not legal in my state and I rarely take one.  I will look at the sites you all have told me about and will probably order.  Sounds like those can be helpful!
