I spent twenty plus years as an infantryman. Many of those years I was a paratrooper. I sustained several injures. A torn knee ligament, torn cartilage, broken ankles. Being a soldier you never are allowed to fully recover before going back into the field.
After you retire and aren't as physically active as you were as a soldier, you develop horrible pain in those formerly injured areas. The medical system for retirees isn't much help. They pretty much blow you off.
I purchased a cannabinol extract dietary supplement to see if this might alieviate some of my knee pain. When I was a soldier or a sheriff's deputy, I could not use this substance even there is no intoxicating effect. It is possibly the most effective pain relief method I have ever experienced. It's incredible.
I've been using this for about one week. My knee and lower back pain has completely gone away since I started using this. I was given this by a friend I SCUBA dive with. I agreed to give it a try, but I thought it was basically snake oil.
It freaking works. I can even run again. It's almost unbelievable.
