CBD oil

I came across this very interesting article about using CBD oil for pain. I have arthritis in my hands and feet, and am taking Letrozole, which gives me menopause symptoms, following surgery for breast cancer. I asked my McMillan nurse about CBD oil and she simply didn't know. The consultant who treats my arthritis said it was ok to take for pain relief, but that was before I was diagnosed with cancer. I still don't have an answer, but am tempted to try it out.

    Hi there, I have been looking into this today for the very same reason. 

    Letrazole is the devil's work. 

    I felt the side effects practically straight away and have so much pain. 

    The cancer nurses can't comment on the cbd oil I asked  

    What harm can it do maybe worth a shot xx

    Yes, I'm thinking the same thing. As I already have arthritis I really don't need any additional pain! I take Curcumin C3 complex (turmeric) and it helps with the swellings on my joints but I can't take ibuprofen except topically as a gel so am stuck with paracetamol and occasionally codeine. I think when my radiotherapy is finished and I've recovered then I'm going to give it a go. If you try it and it works for you, do please let me know! Good luck.

    Oops - I was about to suggest a combination of paracetamol and ibuprofen but you've already said you cant take the latter.
