My 90 year old father was taking Vicodin, for arthritis pain. When we talked him into trying CBD drops he was very proud of the fact that he was using less of the pills in the first month. Miss you pop.
I will answer the question you two asked. First, I am 56 years old and due to my career in the United States Marine Corp I have things like a intramedullary nail and pins and screws that hold me together. Pain has been a fact of life since my discharge. The prescriptions I was given left me with little desire to do anything other than sleep and slobber on myself. I will tell you that CBD is NOT a pain killer unlike prescription meds. CBD is a pain Manager, I still hurt with the use of CBD. I can still function and do things like drive and be active. I know long term use of pain killers destroy you liver and you build up immunity. Not to mention what they do to my digestive system. Speaking for myself CBD Oil takes the edge off the pain and that is what I need to be active and sleep well.
You could try to take CBG oil before you take your pain medication but take less than you usually do because CBG slows down the liver and your pain medication stays in your system longer and usually you won't need as much.
Don’t listen to haters… I, myself, just adore you two! I look forward to each and every new video. I hope you both and your families have a very great New Year!
Btw, me too, on the "Being so happily annoying" tough! I'm a forest technician! Might as well marry and pop out kids, Cdn forests dictated by mills (aka they're not going to listen to me anyway/do it properly) my eldest works as a mycologist, her bach's in biology, we are STEM!
@@TalkingWithDocs yes you two are cool docs for sure, not scary , but you both high for sure, especially on this video, especially when you both start saying that you are not high, I said, for sure these two are fly high, but it makes your video cool, so keep it up men
kinda sad.... people thinking you guys are drunk.... just goes to show you that a lot of people think "Cool" docs arent come by naturally. we're too accustomed to doctors who aren't like you guys. such a pleasure to tune in. regardless of ailment discussed, always fun and gives me a few chuckles . thanks guys here's to many more in 2022!
I never comment, even when highly compelled, I end up deleting, but I have to tell y’all...I love this channel! I recommend and send your videos to friends and family. The clips are short, highly informative, evidence-based, with just the right amount of humour, and no annoying music in background. Dr. Weening’s smile is...infectious. (:
I have rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and fibromyalgia. CBD has helped me reduce pain medication tremendously. I take high quality gel caps in the morning and drops at night. I’m grateful for the treatment it provides. Just found your channel and subscribed! Have a great day and God bless!
@@emilianaaquino8537 Sometimes, from what I read, it does not work for 10% of the folks. My mom has lot of Arthritis issues in the knees and we used Full Spectrum (1500 mg bottle - 1 ml each per day). It worked great for her. We bought it from hypernovaCBD after we read about them in our local newspaper. If you don't want THC at all, then, use their Broad Spectrum tincture.
Anna listen to doctor Berg on TH-cam. He might help. Vit D3, vit E tocotrionol--vit form. K2 mk7. That might remove calcium deposits in your joint and arteries. It worth t try it
Have used high quality cbd for about 9 months. Haven’t noticed any effect on arthritis pain but definitely reduced or eliminated anxiety, which is often produced by pain.
@@mattlourer9692 I use the one from hypernovaCBD. We use Full Spectrum and my son who is 16 with ADHD, we use Broad Spectrum (0 THC). It works great. I felt comfortable after I visiting their facility. Lot of spurious stuff out there.
I love how down to earth you both are. I tried cbd tincture and got some temporary relief but I tried the oil for foot pain and it really worked well.I think that the dosage is going to be the key and that needs to be figured out. Happy and Healthy New Year to you both 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥂
Thank you so much Kathleen. Glad to hear it worked for the feet. We would agree dosage as well as quality are probably very real issues. All the best in 2022. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs but which oil do you buy? You can spend a lot of money for a junk car. And I definitely want what I get made and sourced in America or Canada.
People think that Cannabis and CBD are painkillers. It's not. Rather it's a natural pain manager. It won't completely nullify pain, but it also won't destroy your liver with repeated use. Anyways, love the video. Keep doing what you're doing, guys!
Never ever did I think either of you were drunk. You both are awesome. I’ve tried it, didn’t work for me. I have no pain tolerance 😩. PS. I’m up at 4 every morning myself. Don’t know why but I am. Thank you both and I’ll look forward to your next video❤️🇨🇦
I'm an early riser too, my husband's a night hawk! I gave myself an over the knee Charlie Horse carrying in 2 ate teen liter water bottles over crappy shoveled drive-way in March (My husband had frozen shoulders) onto other side's groin injury/frozen hip, owwwww! On the mend finally and my bod's happy to stretch! Hubby's tried it, found it strong, he couldn't get the spray! Shame on the cie's gummy bears, so many kids O.D.ing on them! I did buy the multi-vits for my kids and they'd insist/fight over the red ones yrs back, finally fed up I told them I was going to call the cie and tell them to stop making red ones, looking at the fine print, wouldn't you know it, they were made in Germany! 🙆
I have never thought you guys were wasted or drunk -- ever! I've been watching you since the beginning and that never crossed my mind. I have enjoyed your friendliness and frankness and how you're both so easy to watch. You're not stuffy and stiff, which is what we all love. Don't listen to any of those fools saying you're wasted/drunk. Keep on keeping on!
Thank You for sharing so much invaluable information with us ( much need it ) most docs dont have time to talk to their patients and getting into detail so this is great !
Hi Sara6. You are very welcome. That was one of the goals of this channel as visits are often short with lots of fast talking. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I'm a former RN (in the U.S.), and was put on permanent disability due to Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue/Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was very leery about adding CBD to my medication regime, so approached my doctor about it. I decided to give it a try, but felt I needed to be sure to get it from a place that provides third party lab testing. I use the tincture under the tongue vs capsules, topicals or gummies... supposedly under the tongue is more effective.When I saw your video on difficulty sleeping after knee replacements - I immediately thought CBD might be worth asking one's doctor about (depending on other medications/supplements being taken). I say this because I had tremendous positive results with my own sleep. I went from getting a broken up 2-3hrs sleep per night for maybe 4 days in a row, to sleeping 6+ hours per night almost every night. It also does not make me feel 'snowed' or like I've been hit by a truck when I wake up. It's been a blessing for me. If I get any relief of my pain, it is only slight. Everyone is different though! I thank you for mentioning this, but since CBD is not regulated (at least in the U.S.), I definitely suggest buying from a reputable place that again....provides third part lab testing. Thanks for all of your videos!! It's appreciated!! 👍 🤗
For the most part, though, US doctors won't talk about CBD with you. Forget about having a doctor ok THC, even where it's legal for recreation. They're all too quick to write scrips for Valium, Wellbutrin, Elavil...all sorts of goodies that really aren't meant to be sleeping pills. So they feed into the industry owned by insurance companies and they don't have to feel guilty about pushing addictive drugs. And if there are contraindications or conflicts with other meds or medical conditions, the doctors pass the responsibility for knowing those potential problems on to the pharmacists. Ain't it great!
@@MyCleverHandle I will count my blessings then! 🤗 I had a medical team in AZ and they were very good with me re: my taking CBD. My primary doc in AZ and now in FL both do not like to load patients up with the 'hard hitter' Rx's if there is an alternative with positive results. I guess I was lucky! There is a doctor from the NW who actually is a patient herself, and she has video's online that help provide some additional education to the public when other docs may not want to give such information.
The veterinary récommended CBD for my bóxer dog, but I think I should take it too, to improve my artrosis and column pain. I am 75 and cannot leave this world without trying cannabis!!!
Good morning! I was cruising TH-cam for info on how take CBD oil and came across your channel. How have I missed you? I instantly fell down the rabbit hole after subscribing, so much so, that I will have to change my chiro appointment for after work rather than before. Loving all the info about plant based diet, which I know first hand lowers BP, and cholesterol. I am turning 64 this year, I have a repetitive job in which I do on average 1000-1200K squats and lift (2 lbs at a time) up to 14000 lbs per shift. I have been doing this job (loving it) for 5 years now. It is the reason I started taking the oil recently, first capsules, now drops, and have noticed a significant improvement for relieving joint pain. Please continue making these, they are very enjoyable. I am also an early riser, 3:15, sleeping in is 4:30. You look like my co workers, normal. 😁
It works!!! I have a tonsil that is growing back, and it is causing 10/10 pain. Swollen glands etc... I've been using it for three days now, and the pain is reduced by 80%. I am currently waiting for surgery and during this time this product will be my life saver.
It is so nice and refreshing to have at least a modicum of informed opinions/eye opening topics from the two of you. As we are the best managers of our own health care (46 years now of military health care) having additional decision making info is so very useful, thanks. Happy New Year!
CBD works for me and as you said it's scary to say the name when Im at my appointment with the doctor. I used CBD when I was suffering from ulcerative colitis, it helped a lot with the pain. Now after my colon was taken out it helped me with postoperative pain and also last month I was diagnosed with Spondiloartritis and even that it is giving me huge reliëf. Thanks for the video!!
@@aussiegruber86 in my experience living in Mexico it is better not something you should mention. Only my psychiatrist knows and is one of the few here that can prescribe it
Don’t listen to the negative people! They’re jealous, nasty people that just like to drive others nuts with their negative comments. Just block them and move on! You two provide wonderful informative information to the masses and I for one appreciate your videos. So, thank you both for taking the time to do what you do in educating us all and for keeping up with your thriving practices.
Please don't change a thing, you make great informative and fun videos, a great combination for educating the masses. Well you could change one thing, ignore the trolls. Thanks for the videos.
I've never used it, but have friends who have. Some have given it to their older dogs to ease sore joints. It's available in all the large pet supply stores here in California and is easily available for humans too. Would definitely check with a doc or a veterinarian before I'd use it or give it to my dogs or cat. I really appreciate the Talking With Docs videos you make. They're so informative and also lots of fun to watch. Thank you both!
You Guys are Great... I replaced 14 medications with Hemp CBD... It was also tremendous with My Dad's Stroke. Blessings, Honesty is hard to come by now a days...
I like the part in the Bible where it says, don't be drunk with alcohol; be drunk with the Holy Spirit. I Always thought you two were drunk, from the get-go; drunk with the joys and the challenges of life. Only way to be! Thank you for the effort you put in to making these videos. Your concise presentations are priceless! I think CBD oil has sometimes lowered the inflammation I experience from ME/CFS, which is a surreptitious way of saying: As more and more people get Long COVID, could you address some of the issues involved in these sneaky conditions ... like maybe energy limitations and exercises normally expected during PT following orthopedic surgeries? Keep up your phenomenal work, and thank you for your giggles and dry humor. You're unsurpassed!
Wow Betty Jean. Thank you so much for your thoughtful sweet response. We are happy in our jobs for sure and these videos allow us to have a little fun. We can definitely add long hauler symptoms to our list of future videos for sure. All the best in 2022
I was looking for info on CBD oil and found your video. Good to see doctors who can still have fun at their job! I want to point out what I perceive to be an incorrect statement but that’s just my opinion. At 6:10 you mention people come see you mentioning high pain tolerance and then say they wouldn’t be there if they did. That may or may not be entirely correct as there are different meanings behind a high level of pain tolerance. Pain tolerance varies by individual and their perception of the levels of pain meaning a three for one could be a six for another. Saying you have a high pain tolerance may not necessarily refer to the pain scale of 1-10 but a tolerance to live with pain year after year. For example someone who has joint pain on a scale of 2-5 (some days better, some worse) that persists every single day of their life from after-effects of anthrax. Or damaged rotator cuffs and ligaments. In the military you learn to live with pain because that’s what they train you to do but after decades and as you get older there’s a point where you're just worn down and sick of pain every single day. If you’ve lived with that for 20+ years I’d say that’s a high tolerance for pain and perhaps that’s when some go to see you. After twenty years of that I’d say it would be fair to call that a high pain tolerance. Keep up the great work on the videos!
Hi Docs coming from Michigan. Love your videos, currently struggling with OA in both knees. You are very informational as well as entertaining. Keep it up! Please?
A lot of studies are starting to show the balance of CBD and THC is important for different conditions. A bit of THC may be much better for pain, but not suitable for sleep or anxiety. I hope we keep getting more research
Thank you doctors so much. Having arthritis pain, biologic injections don't help much. Also spine problems, two surgery's already and Total knee replacement done. You are amazing doctors.
I certainly watch anything you post. I was told to take CBD oil 2 hours after my morphine or tylenols after I had my spine surgery. It helped and in 10 days I was better
After watching videos about using topicals for arthritis pain, I contacted my local pharmacy and they carry a product that contains CBD. I got the highest strength - 1500 - and while skeptical I tried it. Amazing, my chronic pain stopped within a few minutes of application. I have been using it - about 3 times a day for the last few days - and stopped taking everything else - which wasn't helping anyway. My sleep improved dramatically from 2 hours a night to 4 hours. I have surgery in a week - and am so happy to have found this. My question is is I can take it for post surgical pain.I'm going to ask the orthopedist.
@@TalkingWithDocsThanks I hope they agree. Yesterday the nurse on my medical history call told me to stop it before surgery. Surgery is in one week. She said there may be nsaids in it. I'm not sure - but I will abide by their orders. Just hope I can still sleep on just acetominophen. Onward!
Thanks! One comment about your comment about people who come and say they have a high tolerance for pain. Having been through herniated lumbar disc and hip replacement, I can tell you that by the time I got the doctors office, I’d spent YEARS dealing with pain. So I dare say by the time someone gets into your office, they have Just.Had.It.With.Pain.
Yes Jennifer. Many of our patients have a lot of pain for sure. We just find that people with a high pain tolerance just tolerate it - they don't tell you that they have a high tolerance. Just an observation. Thanks for watching subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
I experienced a major adverse reaction from only 1 small capsule of CBD. I thought I was dying. I just prayed to go to sleep and if I woke up, fine, and if I didn't, fine. I am still here.
@@TalkingWithDocs I have exhausted all tests and possibilities. As best as we can figure it was likely the mercury shots administered to me in spring 1963, as a diuretic, to counter the extreme toxicity after a long regimen of ridiculously high doses of prednisone, as a result of having an acute case of rheumatic fever. I was 13 at the time. I have lived much longer than anyone thought I would. Fluid was pumped out of my lungs twice, heart stopped twice, and the immediate diagnosis was: permanent invalid, no children, no nothing. Within months I was out of bed and a few years later I had two children, in spite of all medical professionals insisting I have an abortion, which I refused to do. The practice of administrating mercury as a diuretic was halted in spring 1963.
My daughter has Anxiety with peer interactions during high school. She was diagnosed with Broad Spectrum Autism, high functioning. I do not have a history of anxiety. Both of us took it. At first, it seems to help with sleep. But, then honestly in my experience, I cannot seem to tell the difference. But, the cost is too expensive to sustain for a long term. So, we both stop using. We both use melatonin for sleep still in the last few years. For anxiety, psychotherapy helps her a lot. Thank goodness for health insurance. Currently, my girl is Sophomore in college, double major in Accounting and Finance. She is on the President’s list. For her, psychotherapy has been very helpful, because she knows that she is taking to an expert, but also is in neutral setting. Her Pediatric therapist is so patient and kind, and she gets to ventilate and etc…But, the positive support is first from us, her parents and the community (therapist, school/university). Her therapist even said that she will keep her on as a patient beyond 18. Also, she utilizes the University’s counseling support when her something is bothering her and she cannot get an appointment. Schools from elementary-college have been helpful in providing support. But, effective support comes first in the home, and then in the community. People measure success as accomplishments/achievements. Ultimately, success really is from a healthy mind and body?.
Happy New Year to you both!! I have OA in my right hand and I use the CBD salve. I receive temporary relief from the pain and some reduction in swelling. As always thanks for sharing your thoughts and time!!
Hi Drs Wishing both of you & family a Happy New Year. All the best in 2022. Always enjoy your videos. Thx you so much. Looking forward to see you both more videos
Just saw your channel and it's what I needed to hear. I tried the oil and was not thrilled with it. I have been taking the gummies and it has helped my arthritis pain. Yea! Thanks for video.
I love you two and your humor I look forward to your videos and have watched alot of your older ones . Some people just are haters and I hope you both never change and keep making videos. I've never tried this stuff and have had both of my knees replaced the last one on December 9th and it's so painful but I know from experience from having the first one done it will feel alot better soon . I hope you both had a nice New Years and heres to a much better 2022. Hugs and love to you and your families. Maria
1:00 "most Canadian surgeons are tired" .....A 94yr old with Alz+Parks+In cont.. not to mention doin household chores...makes me tired allday everyday....I can sympathise
Hi Robert. Thanks so much. So the short answer is yes one take. And no script. It is that way because we are simply talking about the job that we do every day. And we love it. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I have arthritis pain in my knees, I tried a CBD cream a few months ago, and it has totally reduced the pain in my knees. Works for me, wish it wasn’t so expensive.
I never noticed that you guys appeared tired/wasted etc. Guess that means that most of the health care providers that I come in contact with are tired. I too, watch most of your videos as you roll them out.. at least the ones that apply to blood pressure, cholesterol or arthritis. I rather enjoy your ‘fun delivery method’. Gets your message out, gets folks like me to listen. I’ll be doing a touch more research on Cbd oil after this
Hi from Boise, Idaho! My husband obtained this for me before my THR that I finally had done last July. I felt that it actually quited things down a bit. So I’m a yes vote for CBD.
I use CBD oil and have found some relief within minutes of application. Once it diminishes the pain it seems to last for several hours or more. All in all I use it when the pain is at it’s worst and not on a regular basis. Keep up the great work and try to get more sleep……..ha ha
You two are awesome! CBD oil is free if you grow it yourself. I use CBD oil for joint pain and experience some relief. I don't like taking pain medication so I use cannabis exclusively. I'm a big fan of THC too.... :)
I’ve used CBD gummies as well as CBG gummies for joint pain, and I think it works well for the early part of treatment, but once your knee joints are bone on bone you’ll need surgery (IMHO). While CBD might ease some of your pain, I got the best relief from surgery… barring that, anti-inflammatory such as Advil or Diclofenac Sodium helps between scheduling that surgical option (but you can’t take it 14 days before surgery). Hope it helps! 🤗
My hip is bone on bone and I use a combo of nutritional diet, regular exercise and the gummy bears to get me through my work day. Works for me but I think everyone has to try different things to find out what works with their body chemistry.
CBD stands for Cannabidiol. It is becoming increasingly popular for use in the treatment of arthritic pain. The surgeons discuss the use of CBD oil. It can be ingested or applied topically.This is really amazing video. It's very interesting and valuable information. In this video everything is very clear and well explained. It's totally helpful for me.Thank you for sharing this video.
Very interesting (and I love your vlogs), apart from the throwaway about high pain tolerance. We don’t have a choice about the pain. Some of us definitely have a high pain tolerance but the reason why we come for help is that we don’t have a fatigue and exhaustion tolerance, or the mental tolerance to deal with this day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade. I live in the UK and have autoimmune psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis. I have had a hip replacement and I am still in dreadful pain due to being left too long before the operation was carried out because I was too young ! By the time it was carried out I had bone on bone contact with tiny shreds of cartilage left. My ongoing pain is in my hip, pelvis and lower back and is, I believe, due to being thrown out of line when walking for so long. No amount of physio has helped me. Add that to the psoriatic pain and it kind of gets you down. We are warriors and we DO have a high pain threshold.
Hi AniWatX. Thanks so much. Yes many of our patients have high pain tolerances and amaze us when we see their X-rays and they are still walking. Sorry to hear the hip replacement has not provided the relief you were hoping for. Sometimes patients have both back and hip issues. Hopefully it gets better with time. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you. I have been subscribed for a long time and your info is invaluable. Unfortunately I’m not sure if there will be any further improvement as hip replacement was carried out over 5 years ago now. I keep on moving though. 😊
I don’t know if it has been mentioned but it is surely important to address the particular pathway CBD uses in the body; if a patient is taking other various medicines, taking CBD can compete, cancelling out the med that uses the same pathway. This can be dangerous in many cases. For example, both Zebeta and CBD use the same path; if u use CBD oil and take it as the same time or close, u may be cancelling out the benefit of your BP med.
Gosh! I love you guys! You are both so funny! Thanks for all your info. Just getting over hip replacement 4 weeks ago. Scary aftermath with Orthostatic Hypotension. Doing much much better now. The surgery was successful and looking forward to full recovery.
Hi Joseph. We are not talking about inhaling it. These drops are put on your tongue out of the bottle. Hope that clarifies. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Happy New Year Docs..Haters will hate..You are both great..Love your videos.I've learned so much from both of you.Please don't stop making your videos..Ginny from Massachusetts
Note: I remember the ads claiming this CBD Oil being so much cheaper than prescriptions, yet when I go to buy some it is roughly 2Xs the price of a Prcocet 10/325, and less than 1/2 the strength. That is if it contains any CBD Oil at all. What a rip off.
Hi there! I tried CBD oil for the first-time last night. I have chronic back pain and a "new" pain in my right deltoid since covid vaccine November 2021. It started with a slight ache at the site of the shot which has been gradually getting worse over time. I thought the pain was going away by its own, but it didn't, so I took a visit to my doctor in August and told her what was going on etc. She sent me to get few tests: x-ray, EMG, and ultrasound, and all came back negative. The pain is rather debilitating and the worse is at night which keeps me from getting a full night sleep. Last week I was talking to my cousin, and she told me she was taking CBD for her pain and has been feeling great. Yesterday I tried for the first time, had no idea what to do 'cause I got it from a friend who has a neighbor who makes it. I have to tell you that I slept all night and woke up pain-free! I will try again tonight and hope it keeps working! Thank you!
Very nice. Sorry to hear this. Unlikely related to the vaccine. May be coming from your neck though. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs the doc I work for told me the same, I’ll check my neck next, but here in the USA insurance requires step by step tests 😞 Than you 👍😺
You do a great job Docs, You have been very helpful for me with your great information and I thank you for being there to answer questions. Have a Great New Year and take care!
@@TalkingWithDocs one of the best subscriptions I have made is your You Tube channel! Thank you and bless you all on your channel Like I said Happy New Year and stay well!
Happy to see you are still doing surgeries in Ontario, we seem to have come to a screeching halt in Quebec. I tried CBD oil for several months with no relief, also gummies, again no relief. Disappointing for sure as it would be great to find pain relief beyond Tylenol and Advil waiting for surgery. Oh, and don't stop the fun, guys, we need all of that hilarity we can get.
Hi Jennifer. Thanks so much. So as it turns out we are not far behind. Announced today that as of Wednesday we will be halting all non urgent surgeries for at least 21 days. See what that means for us shortly. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Same here in northern Ohio. I was supposed to have (outpatient) surgery @ Cleveland Clinic Tues & mid last week it was announced they were to be “shut down” - to borrow the phrase of the nurse who called me - starting on the 3rd. Non-urgent w/ overnight have been cancelled since the first week of December so I certainly wasn’t surprised but did luck out w/ my surgery falling on the first day outpatient surgeries were added to the cancellation list🤦🏻♀️…technically through 1/14 as they’re doing it in 2wk blocks, but it’s well understood that it will be longer as they’re not even bothering to reschedule at this point, the National Guard has been deployed to help, etc. Such a terribly sad, frustrating, & infuriating situation for so many in so many ways…
Hey! Guess who's getting a new hip tomorrow at 6h30? Called on Thursday, so no time to completely freak out. Not all electives cancelled in Quebec. I'm thankful.
Omg, never laughed so much over this video. Too funny docs.😂🤣. Excellent topic though, my kids keep telling me to try this CBD, I’m still debating🤔. Sorry to hear, surgeries are pushed back again. As always, stay safe🙏
I am pushing 60 yrs old and have substantial daily pain from 2 VERY arthritic knees, and I can say, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, that CBD oil greatly reduces pain!! I use a high CBD content, topical cream. It GREATLY improves my mobility. A bit pricey.....but WELL worth it. Highly recommended.
@@richardhamilton3163 Hello, Richard. It is called Sun Med Topical cream. They have different strengths. I chose the 2000+ mg. It does not take much. I used it only when the pain was worse than normal. So, I stretched a $130 jar out to almost 4 months. But it DEFINITELY helps. Look it up. You MIGHT only be able to get it at an actual CBD store. GOOD LUCK. And God bless.
My sister has RSD and uses it regularly. She swears by it. That being said I have cfs and although it does help to a degree I find the effects to be slow to start and wear off too quickly to make the financial cost worth the effort.
I fully understand the difference between CBD and THC. I have extremely reduced my arthritis using THC and my elliptical. The THC just takes my mind off the pain and boredom of using the elliptical. I'm 61yrs old and I do 20 miles (5 hours) every other day. I dropped 80lbs and I my horrid arthritis has but all cleared up. I tried CBD and it helped but did not inspire me to be active. I truly believe that activity is the only way to battle arthritis. PEACE OUT!!!
I've had 4 surgeries on my knee, for pain I was prescribed oxycodone by my surgeon, I never used it. I tried CBD and it did nothing for my post op pain. I have medical marijuana prescribed to me, so I use it, THC works. My experience is medical marijuana works, CBD is a placebo.
Doctor's, suggestions on a topical\meds for extreme knee pain? Orthopod WON'T do a replacement? Can't take ibprofin & corticosteroid injections aren't doing much anymore?
Hi Rockee Rockey. Best to talk to your pharmacist but something with a local anesthetic and an anti inflammatory if you can take it topically. And maybe a second opinion. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
My great grandfather was a doctor and my family had a lot of his tools of the trade. One piece was a leather bound pill case with various pill bottles in it and one of them was labeled "Canabis Sativa". In it were little green pills. In the 1960's, my brothers and sister of course thought that was very cool. I just wish he was alive so I could ask him what he used it for. I guess I'll have to try and Google what Canabis Sativa was used for in pre-1900 medicine. The problem I have with CBD oil and the multitude of products that are sold legally today is they portend that they can cure or help almost anything and people believe it just because they say so. I think it is a bit of snake oil salesmanship. I'm not convinced. I think it's a lot of placebo affect.
Please do a show about Joint Support Supplements like Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM, and/or collagen. Is there a point in taking those? Do they actually do anything?
Hi Unknown. We do have an episode about glucosamine! And Turmeric. At this point the evidence for their use is very weak yet some patients report benefit. May be worth a try. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I am considering this very issue. I have had a diagnosis for RA since l was 7 years which was 60 years ago. Texas is more strict than most states, but my RA is worse and l broke my hip a year ago.
I had a nissen funduplication in 2014 and since then I have experienced cramps and severe nausea, my doctor's would always prescribe tablets which without fail make my cramps worse. My wife bought me a bottle of cbd 3 weeks ago as a last resort and maybe it's the placebo effect but I'm cramp and nausea free for the first time in years and I couldn't be happier.
I have a severe spinal cord injury and had back surgery. The pain is 24/7 and they offer me morphine, Percocet…opioids knowing the epidemic in the US. I refuse to become a legal addict. My last choice was to try CBD in s/l drops and carts and the topical balm. It helps very much because it reduces the inflammation and the pain, Witheout any side effects like the opiates. As a retired physician, I can say that CBD works for me!!👍👍
My son-in-law took some last week for a bad headache and he apparently took too much. His hearing was hyper-sensitive and said he could hear everyone’s conversations from afar. He said he would never take again because he didn’t like the effects. Maybe some of the pain people have can be solved by lifestyle, exercise, losing weight, etc. Our culture seems to want to throw the quick fix without getting to why of the pain. I realize there are cases where pain is inevitable but many times it can be fixed without meds and surgery.
Having osteoarthritis for years, and finding no general pain reliever that worked, I was given a bottle of high quality organic CBD cream to try for my joint pain. I was amazed; took my pain down from a 7 to a 4 within minutes. After using it once per day on the same location, my pain level went to 0! And, amazingly the pain level stayed at 0 for 5 days after I was told to stop using it. Sadly, I had to stop using it due to my doctor's orders of concern of potential problems interacting with my many meds. There are not enough medical studies concerning cbd and interactions with many allopathic medicines. So I am now back to dealing with the constant pain again. But I have to say, the high quality cbd cream, 300 mcg, was better than anything I have tried for arthritis pain, even injections. I wish I could use it again.
I will say it does give minor pain relief. I notice I'm actually skipping a dose every day without noticing a difference. That said where it helps the most is with anxiety. Since my cancer treatments. I was diagnosed with chemo brain. Shortly afterward I started suffering from severe anxiety. To give you an example, I was afraid to go out my back door for a year. I had to walk around the house to get to my back yard or I just avoided going. I decided to try CBD oil and to my surprise, it worked. I didn't have that tight feeling all day like everything was closing in. I didn't even realize anything like that had happened to me until I had relief from it. I just knew I was getting angry for no reason when I had to go somewhere or be around people. It took days to prepare myself and a change in anything would set me off. The doctors had me on multiple different medications to try and offset the anxiety but nothing worked. My anti-depressants often left me with more side effects than relief. After years of living like this and already being disabled from back issues. I found CBD on sale again and tried it recently. Within an hour of taking it I was able to breathe freely and live my life for a few hours. I will say, it's not affordable but it does work. I've used both the broad and full spectrum and both have worked for anxiety.
Love your videos. Tried CBD oil for arthritis. I didn’t notice any improvement. However my sister has had good relief so I think it’s worth trying. Cheers.
I have had chronic back pain for years due to of fairly screwed-up spine. Early on it was degenerative discs and now is spinal stenosis. Nerve pain to my low back and down my leg. Ibuprofen has helped quite a bit. Cortisone injections every 4 months was working but not so well lately. Pain doctor did radio frequency ablation on my low back about 5 months ago. and I was relatively pain-free up until the last couple of weeks. Started back on 800mg/day of ibuprofen. We'll see how it goes. RFA was amazing for my case and it seems it can be done as needed without without the problems associated with OTC and prescription drugs
I have tried taking different brands of CBD oil in order to relieve my chronic, severe insomnia which I’ve had since 2006‼️ Last week I tried a new-to-me brand of 1,500mg CBD *WITH* THC and am praising the Lord for MANY years of prayers finally answered. Last night was my 5th consecutive night where I have slept about 5-6 hrs!! For me that is AH-MAZING!! Will it continue to help? Praying so…
You too are great! You both crack me up, but I learned so much from these episodes. I love the topics that you discuss. I’m currently dealing with a meniscus tear so I very much enjoyed those episodes. Maybe I should look for some topical CBD oil for my knee as I haven’t had arthroscopic surgery which I will probably end up doing.
Try one of the "Muscle rubs". (Lazarus Naturals) as an example. Apply it in very small amounts, (Less than a pencil eraser in size) and continue rubbing into the area of concern till absorption (dry) has been achieved. Worth a try, works very effective.
I use CBD oil for sleep. It really works if you take enough. There are flavored ones out there. However guys, what is Hemp Oil used for. It doesn't taste good, tho. You two are great, I'm very happy I found your channel. thanks !
So, how do I know that I am getting high quality CBD oil? Does increased price equate to increased effectiveness? Will a $20 bottle work as well as a $120 bottle? I have arthritis in both my knee and ankle due to a misalignment of a fracture from a motorcycle accident at 16 (am now 69). I have been taking CBD for @ a year now as I am trying to stave off two joint replacements but need pain control for daily living/movement. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
Hi PJ R. Hard to say. Cost probably does relate to quality but unsure how to know really. Maybe reviews or reputation. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I checked a lot of CBD oils. I think CBD from Weedborn is the best.
We have heard that Garzon. Thanks for watching and subscribing
It's great to see this... I have also treated myself. Weedborn oils have helped me a lot.
Cool Shannan. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My 90 year old father was taking Vicodin, for arthritis pain. When we talked him into trying CBD drops he was very proud of the fact that he was using less of the pills in the first month. Miss you pop.
Thanks for sharing Char. So sorry for your loss. Thanks for watching and subscribing
❤
I will answer the question you two asked. First, I am 56 years old and due to my career in the United States Marine Corp I have things like a intramedullary nail and pins and screws that hold me together. Pain has been a fact of life since my discharge. The prescriptions I was given left me with little desire to do anything other than sleep and slobber on myself. I will tell you that CBD is NOT a pain killer unlike prescription meds. CBD is a pain Manager, I still hurt with the use of CBD. I can still function and do things like drive and be active. I know long term use of pain killers destroy you liver and you build up immunity. Not to mention what they do to my digestive system. Speaking for myself CBD Oil takes the edge off the pain and that is what I need to be active and sleep well.
Hi Daniel. Really appreciate you sharing your story. Thank you for your service. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Thank you Sir for your service!
Semper Fi @daniel Ratliff. Thank you for your sacrifice to and for America. If CBD helps, use it, brother.
thanks for sharing dear
You could try to take CBG oil before you take your pain medication but take less than you usually do because CBG slows down the liver and your pain medication stays in your system longer and usually you won't need as much.
Don’t listen to haters… I, myself, just adore you two! I look forward to each and every new video. I hope you both and your families have a very great New Year!
Thanks so much Mary. All the best in 2022 to you as well. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Btw, me too, on the "Being so happily annoying" tough! I'm a forest technician! Might as well marry and pop out kids, Cdn forests dictated by mills (aka they're not going to listen to me anyway/do it properly) my eldest works as a mycologist, her bach's in biology, we are STEM!
@@TalkingWithDocs yes you two are cool docs for sure, not scary , but you both high for sure, especially on this video, especially when you both start saying that you are not high, I said, for sure these two are fly high, but it makes your video cool, so keep it up men
.
You have admit tho.. These 2 look stoned AF
kinda sad.... people thinking you guys are drunk.... just goes to show you that a lot of people think "Cool" docs arent come by naturally. we're too accustomed to doctors who aren't like you guys. such a pleasure to tune in. regardless of ailment discussed, always fun and gives me a few chuckles . thanks guys here's to many more in 2022!
Thank you so much hex hex. Doing our best and glad you are enjoying. All the best in 2022.
I never comment, even when highly compelled, I end up deleting, but I have to tell y’all...I love this channel!
I recommend and send your videos to friends and family. The clips are short, highly informative, evidence-based, with just the right amount of humour, and no annoying music in background.
Dr. Weening’s smile is...infectious. (:

I have rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and fibromyalgia. CBD has helped me reduce pain medication tremendously. I take high quality gel caps in the morning and drops at night. I’m grateful for the treatment it provides. Just found your channel and subscribed! Have a great day and God bless!
Hi Anna. Sorry to hear that but glad it has helped. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
May I ask you please which brand of CBD you're using ; 8 have tried a few, to no avail.
Thank you in advance for the info.
@@emilianaaquino8537 Sometimes, from what I read, it does not work for 10% of the folks. My mom has lot of Arthritis issues in the knees and we used Full Spectrum (1500 mg bottle - 1 ml each per day). It worked great for her. We bought it from hypernovaCBD after we read about them in our local newspaper. If you don't want THC at all, then, use their Broad Spectrum tincture.
Anna listen to doctor Berg on TH-cam. He might help. Vit D3, vit E tocotrionol--vit form. K2 mk7. That might remove calcium deposits in your joint and arteries. It worth t try it
Have used high quality cbd for about 9 months. Haven’t noticed any effect on arthritis pain but definitely reduced or eliminated anxiety, which is often produced by pain.
Hi Megan. This is a common indication for CBD as well as for sleep. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
What brand did you use
@@mattlourer9692 I use the one from hypernovaCBD. We use Full Spectrum and my son who is 16 with ADHD, we use Broad Spectrum (0 THC). It works great. I felt comfortable after I visiting their facility. Lot of spurious stuff out there.
Have you tried CBG? Or Full Spectrum CBD with THC. I’m new to this and it’s helping me for pain.
I love how down to earth you both are. I tried cbd tincture and got some temporary relief but I tried the oil for foot pain and it really worked well.I think that the dosage is going to be the key and that needs to be figured out.
Happy and Healthy New Year to you both 🎉🎉🥳🥳🥂
Thank you so much Kathleen. Glad to hear it worked for the feet. We would agree dosage as well as quality are probably very real issues. All the best in 2022. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs but which oil do you buy? You can spend a lot of money for a junk car. And I definitely want what I get made and sourced in America or Canada.
People think that Cannabis and CBD are painkillers. It's not. Rather it's a natural pain manager. It won't completely nullify pain, but it also won't destroy your liver with repeated use. Anyways, love the video. Keep doing what you're doing, guys!
Yes nothing will completely stop your pain. Totally agree. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Never ever did I think either of you were drunk. You both are awesome. I’ve tried it, didn’t work for me. I have no pain tolerance 😩. PS. I’m up at 4 every morning myself. Don’t know why but I am. Thank you both and I’ll look forward to your next video❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for your support Mandy!! Thanks for watching and subscribing
I'm an early riser too, my husband's a night hawk! I gave myself an over the knee Charlie Horse carrying in 2 ate teen liter water bottles over crappy shoveled drive-way in March (My husband had frozen shoulders) onto other side's groin injury/frozen hip, owwwww! On the mend finally and my bod's happy to stretch! Hubby's tried it, found it strong, he couldn't get the spray! Shame on the cie's gummy bears, so many kids O.D.ing on them! I did buy the multi-vits for my kids and they'd insist/fight over the red ones yrs back, finally fed up I told them I was going to call the cie and tell them to stop making red ones, looking at the fine print, wouldn't you know it, they were made in Germany! 🙆
I work in IT. I go to bed often only at 4 in the morning and up again at 7... for 47 years that has been my life....
I tried the oil but it upset my stomach so I tried CBD gummy bears 20g for 1 and it was just the right dosage and boy do I feel better!
@@TalkingWithDocs stop drinking vodka at 6am
I have never thought you guys were wasted or drunk -- ever! I've been watching you since the beginning and that never crossed my mind. I have enjoyed your friendliness and frankness and how you're both so easy to watch. You're not stuffy and stiff, which is what we all love. Don't listen to any of those fools saying you're wasted/drunk. Keep on keeping on!
Hi Debbie. That is so sweet. Thanks for being along for the ride for so long and supporting us. We have no intention of changing!
Agree 💯%!
Neither did I, I thought happy doctors made me smile. I like how you fellas explain things after you have explained things I feel better.
They're not wasted/drunk. They're a couple of potheads.
Weedborn is full of amazing CBD products. These have helped me tremendously.

Thank you so much Kay. We likely can’t change even if we wanted to! All the best in 2022
Thank You for sharing so much invaluable information with us ( much need it ) most docs dont have time to talk to their patients and getting into detail so this is great !
Hi Sara6. You are very welcome. That was one of the goals of this channel as visits are often short with lots of fast talking. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I'm a former RN (in the U.S.), and was put on permanent disability due to Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue/Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was very leery about adding CBD to my medication regime, so approached my doctor about it. I decided to give it a try, but felt I needed to be sure to get it from a place that provides third party lab testing. I use the tincture under the tongue vs capsules, topicals or gummies... supposedly under the tongue is more effective.When I saw your video on difficulty sleeping after knee replacements - I immediately thought CBD might be worth asking one's doctor about (depending on other medications/supplements being taken). I say this because I had tremendous positive results with my own sleep. I went from getting a broken up 2-3hrs sleep per night for maybe 4 days in a row, to sleeping 6+ hours per night almost every night. It also does not make me feel 'snowed' or like I've been hit by a truck when I wake up. It's been a blessing for me. If I get any relief of my pain, it is only slight. Everyone is different though! I thank you for mentioning this, but since CBD is not regulated (at least in the U.S.), I definitely suggest buying from a reputable place that again....provides third part lab testing. Thanks for all of your videos!! It's appreciated!! 👍 🤗
Very welcome K. Thanks for sharing your experience. Thanks for watching and subscribing
For the most part, though, US doctors won't talk about CBD with you. Forget about having a doctor ok THC, even where it's legal for recreation. They're all too quick to write scrips for Valium, Wellbutrin, Elavil...all sorts of goodies that really aren't meant to be sleeping pills. So they feed into the industry owned by insurance companies and they don't have to feel guilty about pushing addictive drugs. And if there are contraindications or conflicts with other meds or medical conditions, the doctors pass the responsibility for knowing those potential problems on to the pharmacists. Ain't it great!
@@MyCleverHandle I will count my blessings then! 🤗 I had a medical team in AZ and they were very good with me re: my taking CBD. My primary doc in AZ and now in FL both do not like to load patients up with the 'hard hitter' Rx's if there is an alternative with positive results. I guess I was lucky! There is a doctor from the NW who actually is a patient herself, and she has video's online that help provide some additional education to the public when other docs may not want to give such information.
The veterinary récommended CBD for my bóxer dog, but I think I should take it too, to improve my artrosis and column pain. I am 75 and cannot leave this world without trying cannabis!!!
CBD from 4 Corners Cannabis is the only brand that works for me. They have really good customer care also.
Good morning! I was cruising TH-cam for info on how take CBD oil and came across your channel. How have I missed you? I instantly fell down the rabbit hole after subscribing, so much so, that I will have to change my chiro appointment for after work rather than before.
Loving all the info about plant based diet, which I know first hand lowers BP, and cholesterol.
I am turning 64 this year, I have a repetitive job in which I do on average 1000-1200K squats and lift (2 lbs at a time) up to 14000 lbs per shift. I have been doing this job (loving it) for 5 years now. It is the reason I started taking the oil recently, first capsules, now drops, and have noticed a significant improvement for relieving joint pain.
Please continue making these, they are very enjoyable. I am also an early riser, 3:15, sleeping in is 4:30. You look like my co workers, normal. 😁
Glad you liked it Lori! Thanks for watching and subscribing
It works!!! I have a tonsil that is growing back, and it is causing 10/10 pain. Swollen glands etc... I've been using it for three days now, and the pain is reduced by 80%. I am currently waiting for surgery and during this time this product will be my life saver.

Cannabidiol with a very low dose of THC saved me from a 15 year benzo addiction.
2 years clean and feeling great!
CBD works for me and as you said it's scary to say the name when Im at my appointment with the doctor. I used CBD when I was suffering from ulcerative colitis, it helped a lot with the pain. Now after my colon was taken out it helped me with postoperative pain and also last month I was diagnosed with Spondiloartritis and even that it is giving me huge reliëf. Thanks for the video!!

I've never used it, but have friends who have. Some have given it to their older dogs to ease sore joints. It's available in all the large pet supply stores here in California and is easily available for humans too. Would definitely check with a doc or a veterinarian before I'd use it or give it to my dogs or cat. I really appreciate the Talking With Docs videos you make. They're so informative and also lots of fun to watch. Thank you both!

I like the part in the Bible where it says, don't be drunk with alcohol; be drunk with the Holy Spirit. I Always thought you two were drunk, from the get-go; drunk with the joys and the challenges of life. Only way to be!
Thank you for the effort you put in to making these videos. Your concise presentations are priceless!
I think CBD oil has sometimes lowered the inflammation I experience from ME/CFS, which is a surreptitious way of saying:
As more and more people get Long COVID, could you address some of the issues involved in these sneaky conditions ... like maybe energy limitations and exercises normally expected during PT following orthopedic surgeries?
Keep up your phenomenal work, and thank you for your giggles and dry humor. You're unsurpassed!
Wow Betty Jean. Thank you so much for your thoughtful sweet response. We are happy in our jobs for sure and these videos allow us to have a little fun. We can definitely add long hauler symptoms to our list of future videos for sure. All the best in 2022
I was looking for info on CBD oil and found your video. Good to see doctors who can still have fun at their job!
I want to point out what I perceive to be an incorrect statement but that’s just my opinion. At 6:10 you mention people come see you mentioning high pain tolerance and then say they wouldn’t be there if they did. That may or may not be entirely correct as there are different meanings behind a high level of pain tolerance.
Pain tolerance varies by individual and their perception of the levels of pain meaning a three for one could be a six for another. Saying you have a high pain tolerance may not necessarily refer to the pain scale of 1-10 but a tolerance to live with pain year after year. For example someone who has joint pain on a scale of 2-5 (some days better, some worse) that persists every single day of their life from after-effects of anthrax. Or damaged rotator cuffs and ligaments.
In the military you learn to live with pain because that’s what they train you to do but after decades and as you get older there’s a point where you're just worn down and sick of pain every single day. If you’ve lived with that for 20+ years I’d say that’s a high tolerance for pain and perhaps that’s when some go to see you. After twenty years of that I’d say it would be fair to call that a high pain tolerance.
Keep up the great work on the videos!
Thank you for sharing. All the best
I use it topically for back pain as well as orally to settle me down at night. I find it just helps by relaxing me. It is not a high.

A lot of studies are starting to show the balance of CBD and THC is important for different conditions. A bit of THC may be much better for pain, but not suitable for sleep or anxiety. I hope we keep getting more research
We would agree Abbie it is a fine balance. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you doctors so much. Having arthritis pain, biologic injections don't help much. Also spine problems, two surgery's already and Total knee replacement done. You are amazing doctors.
Thank you Sonja. Hopefully you can get the care you need in the upcoming year. All the best. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
I certainly watch anything you post. I was told to take CBD oil 2 hours after my morphine or tylenols after I had my spine surgery. It helped and in 10 days I was better
After watching videos about using topicals for arthritis pain, I contacted my local pharmacy and they carry a product that contains CBD. I got the highest strength - 1500 - and while skeptical I tried it. Amazing, my chronic pain stopped within a few minutes of application. I have been using it - about 3 times a day for the last few days - and stopped taking everything else - which wasn't helping anyway. My sleep improved dramatically from 2 hours a night to 4 hours. I have surgery in a week - and am so happy to have found this. My question is is I can take it for post surgical pain.I'm going to ask the orthopedist.
That’s awesome. Yes just not on the incision
@@TalkingWithDocsThanks I hope they agree. Yesterday the nurse on my medical history call told me to stop it before surgery. Surgery is in one week. She said there may be nsaids in it. I'm not sure - but I will abide by their orders. Just hope I can still sleep on just acetominophen. Onward!
Thanks! One comment about your comment about people who come and say they have a high tolerance for pain. Having been through herniated lumbar disc and hip replacement, I can tell you that by the time I got the doctors office, I’d spent YEARS dealing with pain. So I dare say by the time someone gets into your office, they have Just.Had.It.With.Pain.
Yes Jennifer. Many of our patients have a lot of pain for sure. We just find that people with a high pain tolerance just tolerate it - they don't tell you that they have a high tolerance. Just an observation. Thanks for watching subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
I experienced a major adverse reaction from only 1 small capsule of CBD. I thought I was dying. I just prayed to go to sleep and if I woke up, fine, and if I didn't, fine. I am still here.
We are glad you are still here Ruthie. Maybe you could see an allergist to find out what you could take. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs I have exhausted all tests and possibilities. As best as we can figure it was likely the mercury shots administered to me in spring 1963, as a diuretic, to counter the extreme toxicity after a long regimen of ridiculously high doses of prednisone, as a result of having an acute case of rheumatic fever. I was 13 at the time. I have lived much longer than anyone thought I would.
Fluid was pumped out of my lungs twice, heart stopped twice, and the immediate diagnosis was: permanent invalid, no children, no nothing.
Within months I was out of bed and a few years later I had two children, in spite of all medical professionals insisting I have an abortion, which I refused to do.
The practice of administrating mercury as a diuretic was halted in spring 1963.
My daughter has Anxiety with peer interactions during high school. She was diagnosed with Broad Spectrum Autism, high functioning. I do not have a history of anxiety. Both of us took it. At first, it seems to help with sleep. But, then honestly in my experience, I cannot seem to tell the difference. But, the cost is too expensive to sustain for a long term. So, we both stop using. We both use melatonin for sleep still in the last few years. For anxiety, psychotherapy helps her a lot. Thank goodness for health insurance. Currently, my girl is Sophomore in college, double major in Accounting and Finance. She is on the President’s list. For her, psychotherapy has been very helpful, because she knows that she is taking to an expert, but also is in neutral setting. Her Pediatric therapist is so patient and kind, and she gets to ventilate and etc…But, the positive support is first from us, her parents and the community (therapist, school/university). Her therapist even said that she will keep her on as a patient beyond 18. Also, she utilizes the University’s counseling support when her something is bothering her and she cannot get an appointment. Schools from elementary-college have been helpful in providing support. But, effective support comes first in the home, and then in the community. People measure success as accomplishments/achievements. Ultimately, success really is from a healthy mind and body?.

I use CBD oil and have found some relief within minutes of application. Once it diminishes the pain it seems to last for several hours or more. All in all I use it when the pain is at it’s worst and not on a regular basis. Keep up the great work and try to get more sleep……..ha ha

You two are awesome! CBD oil is free if you grow it yourself. I use CBD oil for joint pain and experience some relief. I don't like taking pain medication so I use cannabis exclusively. I'm a big fan of THC too.... :)
Nice Suddenly Solo. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I’ve used CBD gummies as well as CBG gummies for joint pain, and I think it works well for the early part of treatment, but once your knee joints are bone on bone you’ll need surgery (IMHO). While CBD might ease some of your pain, I got the best relief from surgery… barring that, anti-inflammatory such as Advil or Diclofenac Sodium helps between scheduling that surgical option (but you can’t take it 14 days before surgery). Hope it helps! 🤗
Thank you for sharing your experience Colleen. Thanks for watching subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.
My hip is bone on bone and I use a combo of nutritional diet, regular exercise and the gummy bears to get me through my work day. Works for me but I think everyone has to try different things to find out what works with their body chemistry.
CBD stands for Cannabidiol. It is becoming increasingly popular for use in the treatment of arthritic pain. The surgeons discuss the use of CBD oil. It can be ingested or applied topically.This is really amazing video. It's very interesting and valuable information. In this video everything is very clear and well explained. It's totally helpful for me.Thank you for sharing this video.

Very interesting (and I love your vlogs), apart from the throwaway about high pain tolerance. We don’t have a choice about the pain. Some of us definitely have a high pain tolerance but the reason why we come for help is that we don’t have a fatigue and exhaustion tolerance, or the mental tolerance to deal with this day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade. I live in the UK and have autoimmune psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis. I have had a hip replacement and I am still in dreadful pain due to being left too long before the operation was carried out because I was too young ! By the time it was carried out I had bone on bone contact with tiny shreds of cartilage left. My ongoing pain is in my hip, pelvis and lower back and is, I believe, due to being thrown out of line when walking for so long. No amount of physio has helped me. Add that to the psoriatic pain and it kind of gets you down. We are warriors and we DO have a high pain threshold.
*when walking for so long (2+ years) with the bone bone pain.
Hi AniWatX. Thanks so much. Yes many of our patients have high pain tolerances and amaze us when we see their X-rays and they are still walking. Sorry to hear the hip replacement has not provided the relief you were hoping for. Sometimes patients have both back and hip issues. Hopefully it gets better with time. Best of luck.

@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you. I have been subscribed for a long time and your info is invaluable. Unfortunately I’m not sure if there will be any further improvement as hip replacement was carried out over 5 years ago now. I keep on moving though. 😊

Does growing it and eating the greens cooked or raw help? What are the nutritional benefits and value??
I love you guys, love your videos and love your ability to laugh at yourselves. Thank you!
Doing our best thanks!
I don’t know if it has been mentioned but it is surely important to address the particular pathway CBD uses in the body; if a patient is taking other various medicines, taking CBD can compete, cancelling out the med that uses the same pathway. This can be dangerous in many cases. For example, both Zebeta and CBD use the same path; if u use CBD oil and take it as the same time or close, u may be cancelling out the benefit of your BP med.
Hi Scott. Always discuss any change in med or supplement with your doctor and or pharmacist for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribing

@TalkingWithDocs CBD vs Paracetamol/ Tylenol... which is kinder to the liver???
Note: I remember the ads claiming this CBD Oil being so much cheaper than prescriptions, yet when I go to buy some it is roughly 2Xs the price of a Prcocet 10/325, and less than 1/2 the strength. That is if it contains any CBD Oil at all. What a rip off.
Yes Terry it does seem to be expensive. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Hi there! I tried CBD oil for the first-time last night. I have chronic back pain and a "new" pain in my right deltoid since covid vaccine November 2021. It started with a slight ache at the site of the shot which has been gradually getting worse over time. I thought the pain was going away by its own, but it didn't, so I took a visit to my doctor in August and told her what was going on etc. She sent me to get few tests: x-ray, EMG, and ultrasound, and all came back negative. The pain is rather debilitating and the worse is at night which keeps me from getting a full night sleep. Last week I was talking to my cousin, and she told me she was taking CBD for her pain and has been feeling great. Yesterday I tried for the first time, had no idea what to do 'cause I got it from a friend who has a neighbor who makes it. I have to tell you that I slept all night and woke up pain-free! I will try again tonight and hope it keeps working! Thank you!
Very nice. Sorry to hear this. Unlikely related to the vaccine. May be coming from your neck though. Best of luck to you. Thanks for watching and subscribing
@@TalkingWithDocs the doc I work for told me the same, I’ll check my neck next, but here in the USA insurance requires step by step tests 😞 Than you 👍😺

Happy to see you are still doing surgeries in Ontario, we seem to have come to a screeching halt in Quebec. I tried CBD oil for several months with no relief, also gummies, again no relief. Disappointing for sure as it would be great to find pain relief beyond Tylenol and Advil waiting for surgery. Oh, and don't stop the fun, guys, we need all of that hilarity we can get.
Hi Jennifer. Thanks so much. So as it turns out we are not far behind. Announced today that as of Wednesday we will be halting all non urgent surgeries for at least 21 days. See what that means for us shortly. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
@@TalkingWithDocs Sorry to hear that. Looks like it will be short and snappy, but then you'll have to catch up. Go skiing!
Same here in northern Ohio. I was supposed to have (outpatient) surgery @ Cleveland Clinic Tues & mid last week it was announced they were to be “shut down” - to borrow the phrase of the nurse who called me - starting on the 3rd. Non-urgent w/ overnight have been cancelled since the first week of December so I certainly wasn’t surprised but did luck out w/ my surgery falling on the first day outpatient surgeries were added to the cancellation list🤦🏻♀️…technically through 1/14 as they’re doing it in 2wk blocks, but it’s well understood that it will be longer as they’re not even bothering to reschedule at this point, the National Guard has been deployed to help, etc.
Such a terribly sad, frustrating, & infuriating situation for so many in so many ways…
Hey! Guess who's getting a new hip tomorrow at 6h30? Called on Thursday, so no time to completely freak out. Not all electives cancelled in Quebec. I'm thankful.
Omg, never laughed so much over this video. Too funny docs.😂🤣. Excellent topic though, my kids keep telling me to try this CBD, I’m still debating🤔. Sorry to hear, surgeries are pushed back again. As always, stay safe🙏
Hi Anita. Glad you liked it! And yes we may be clawed back a little but it is what it is. Just need to get through this. All the best.
I am pushing 60 yrs old and have substantial daily pain from 2 VERY arthritic knees, and I can say, WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, that CBD oil greatly reduces pain!! I use a high CBD content, topical cream. It GREATLY improves my mobility. A bit pricey.....but WELL worth it. Highly recommended.
Very nice Joe. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
Can you share what cream you use. Thanks!
@@richardhamilton3163 Hello, Richard. It is called Sun Med Topical cream. They have different strengths. I chose the 2000+ mg. It does not take much. I used it only when the pain was worse than normal. So, I stretched a $130 jar out to almost 4 months. But it DEFINITELY helps. Look it up. You MIGHT only be able to get it at an actual CBD store. GOOD LUCK. And God bless.
@@joemauntel9381 Thanks Joe! I will look for it and definitely give it a try. Thanks for the response and good health in 2022! Rich
My sister has RSD and uses it regularly. She swears by it. That being said I have cfs and although it does help to a degree I find the effects to be slow to start and wear off too quickly to make the financial cost worth the effort.
It’s tricky Linda. Thanks for watching and subscribing
I fully understand the difference between CBD and THC. I have extremely reduced my arthritis using THC and my elliptical. The THC just takes my mind off the pain and boredom of using the elliptical. I'm 61yrs old and I do 20 miles (5 hours) every other day. I dropped 80lbs and I my horrid arthritis has but all cleared up. I tried CBD and it helped but did not inspire me to be active. I truly believe that activity is the only way to battle arthritis. PEACE OUT!!!

Kaiser docs are ignorant of CBD and THC. I queried three of mine. Kaiser always has the latest treatments of the 19th century.
I've had 4 surgeries on my knee, for pain I was prescribed oxycodone by my surgeon, I never used it. I tried CBD and it did nothing for my post op pain. I have medical marijuana prescribed to me, so I use it, THC works. My experience is medical marijuana works, CBD is a placebo.

Doctor's, suggestions on a topical\meds for extreme knee pain? Orthopod WON'T do a replacement?
Can't take ibprofin & corticosteroid injections aren't doing much anymore?
Hi Rockee Rockey. Best to talk to your pharmacist but something with a local anesthetic and an anti inflammatory if you can take it topically. And maybe a second opinion. Good luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
My great grandfather was a doctor and my family had a lot of his tools of the trade. One piece was a leather bound pill case with various pill bottles in it and one of them was labeled "Canabis Sativa". In it were little green pills. In the 1960's, my brothers and sister of course thought that was very cool. I just wish he was alive so I could ask him what he used it for. I guess I'll have to try and Google what Canabis Sativa was used for in pre-1900 medicine. The problem I have with CBD oil and the multitude of products that are sold legally today is they portend that they can cure or help almost anything and people believe it just because they say so. I think it is a bit of snake oil salesmanship. I'm not convinced. I think it's a lot of placebo affect.

Please do a show about Joint Support Supplements like Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM, and/or collagen. Is there a point in taking those? Do they actually do anything?

I am considering this very issue. I have had a diagnosis for RA since l was 7 years which was 60 years ago. Texas is more strict than most states, but my RA is worse and l broke my hip a year ago.
I had a nissen funduplication in 2014 and since then I have experienced cramps and severe nausea, my doctor's would always prescribe tablets which without fail make my cramps worse. My wife bought me a bottle of cbd 3 weeks ago as a last resort and maybe it's the placebo effect but I'm cramp and nausea free for the first time in years and I couldn't be happier.

I have a severe spinal cord injury and had back surgery. The pain is 24/7 and they offer me morphine, Percocet…opioids knowing the epidemic in the US. I refuse to become a legal addict. My last choice was to try CBD in s/l drops and carts and the topical balm. It helps very much because it reduces the inflammation and the pain, Witheout any side effects like the opiates. As a retired physician, I can say that CBD works for me!!👍👍
That is awesome Yolanda. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My son-in-law took some last week for a bad headache and he apparently took too much. His hearing was hyper-sensitive and said he could hear everyone’s conversations from afar. He said he would never take again because he didn’t like the effects. Maybe some of the pain people have can be solved by lifestyle, exercise, losing weight, etc. Our culture seems to want to throw the quick fix without getting to why of the pain. I realize there are cases where pain is inevitable but many times it can be fixed without meds and surgery.

Having osteoarthritis for years, and finding no general pain reliever that worked, I was given a bottle of high quality organic CBD cream to try for my joint pain. I was amazed; took my pain down from a 7 to a 4 within minutes. After using it once per day on the same location, my pain level went to 0! And, amazingly the pain level stayed at 0 for 5 days after I was told to stop using it. Sadly, I had to stop using it due to my doctor's orders of concern of potential problems interacting with my many meds. There are not enough medical studies concerning cbd and interactions with many allopathic medicines. So I am now back to dealing with the constant pain again. But I have to say, the high quality cbd cream, 300 mcg, was better than anything I have tried for arthritis pain, even injections. I wish I could use it again.
Hi Dorothy. We agree very few good quality studies thus far. But some hope. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Why isn’t CBD available at health food or naturopathic supplement stores instead of cannabis stores?
Hard to say. Likely cause it's newish
I see it like buying de-alcolised wine at a grocery store instead of at a liquor store.
I will say it does give minor pain relief. I notice I'm actually skipping a dose every day without noticing a difference. That said where it helps the most is with anxiety. Since my cancer treatments. I was diagnosed with chemo brain. Shortly afterward I started suffering from severe anxiety. To give you an example, I was afraid to go out my back door for a year. I had to walk around the house to get to my back yard or I just avoided going. I decided to try CBD oil and to my surprise, it worked. I didn't have that tight feeling all day like everything was closing in. I didn't even realize anything like that had happened to me until I had relief from it. I just knew I was getting angry for no reason when I had to go somewhere or be around people. It took days to prepare myself and a change in anything would set me off.
The doctors had me on multiple different medications to try and offset the anxiety but nothing worked. My anti-depressants often left me with more side effects than relief. After years of living like this and already being disabled from back issues. I found CBD on sale again and tried it recently. Within an hour of taking it I was able to breathe freely and live my life for a few hours. I will say, it's not affordable but it does work. I've used both the broad and full spectrum and both have worked for anxiety.
Thank you for sharing and glad it has helped even a little
Love your videos. Tried CBD oil for arthritis. I didn’t notice any improvement. However my sister has had good relief so I think it’s worth trying. Cheers.

I have had chronic back pain for years due to of fairly screwed-up spine. Early on it was degenerative discs and now is spinal stenosis. Nerve pain to my low back and down my leg. Ibuprofen has helped quite a bit.
Cortisone injections every 4 months was working but not so well lately. Pain doctor did radio frequency ablation on my low back about 5 months ago. and I was relatively pain-free up until the last couple of weeks. Started back on 800mg/day of ibuprofen. We'll see how it goes. RFA was amazing for my case and it seems it can be done as needed without without the problems associated with OTC and prescription drugs

I have tried taking different brands of CBD oil in order to relieve my chronic, severe insomnia which I’ve had since 2006‼️ Last week I tried a new-to-me brand of 1,500mg CBD *WITH* THC and am praising the Lord for MANY years of prayers finally answered. Last night was my 5th consecutive night where I have slept about 5-6 hrs!! For me that is AH-MAZING!! Will it continue to help? Praying so…
Nice
You too are great! You both crack me up, but I learned so much from these episodes. I love the topics that you discuss. I’m currently dealing with a meniscus tear so I very much enjoyed those episodes. Maybe I should look for some topical CBD oil for my knee as I haven’t had arthroscopic surgery which I will probably end up doing.

Try one of the "Muscle rubs". (Lazarus Naturals) as an example. Apply it in very small amounts, (Less than a pencil eraser in size) and continue rubbing into the area of concern till absorption (dry) has been achieved. Worth a try, works very effective.
I use CBD oil for sleep. It really works if you take enough. There are flavored ones out there. However guys, what is Hemp Oil used for. It doesn't taste good, tho. You two are great, I'm very happy I found your channel. thanks !

So, how do I know that I am getting high quality CBD oil? Does increased price equate to increased effectiveness? Will a $20 bottle work as well as a $120 bottle? I have arthritis in both my knee and ankle due to a misalignment of a fracture from a motorcycle accident at 16 (am now 69). I have been taking CBD for @ a year now as I am trying to stave off two joint replacements but need pain control for daily living/movement. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.
Hi PJ R. Hard to say. Cost probably does relate to quality but unsure how to know really. Maybe reviews or reputation. Best of luck. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did
