CBD oil for PMS symptoms

Which of you ladies has experience with CBD oil for pain relief?

Around my period my knees and hips hurt so bad that Advil can’t even stop the pain. It’s to a level where I can’t even sleep at night because I’m in so much pain 😢

I’ve been contemplating seeing a doctor to see if my hormones are wildly imbalanced (which would be weird since I have the Mirena) but the other day I drove by a CBD oil shop and it seemed like a valid alternative option.

What are y’all’s experiences?

You should get that checked, you need medical attention

I don’t even know what kind of doctor to see. Since it’s only my knees and hips would it be a joint specialist or would it be a gyno since it only happens during that time of month?

I use cbd oil for pain. Highly recommend.

Great for anxiety as well.

start somewhere with a doctor - I would go gyno first and see where that leads ... since it is only during that time of the month

Posted by JustBrowsingI would argue the gyno or general practitioner would send you to an endocrinologist to confirm your blood work first.

It's weird that you have inflammation in your knees that's causing the joint pain. This is going to be a 2 doctor deal.

It started when I was 11 and occurred sporadically up until I got my IUD 3 years ago. But I always thought it was just growth pains, until I started experiencing it again a few months ago.

I guess I’ll bring it up to my GP when I go to get a referral for my tonsil stones as well.

I'm not saying that is your diagnosis but your body does weird things when something is annoying it.

I had a feeling it may be something like fibroids or endo because sometimes I’ll expereince light bleeding after doing heavy cardio at the gym 😱😱

Did yours start mid twenties or is that just when it got worse and you sought treatment? I’ve had sporadic knee pain since I started puberty up until I got my IUD, but I thought it was growth spurts until it returned a few months ago.

CBD oils aren't regulated, so you should definitely do your research to make sure you're getting what you're paying for.

But check with a doctor first.

Edit: Especially if you plan on ingesting it.

Oh lol I thought they were topical

How long have you had the IUD? Diet changes? Maybe arthritis runs in the family?

I’ve had it since early 2016. No severe diet changes. And arthiritis doesn’t even run in my family 🤔🤔

Cbd is an anti inflammatory.

I swear by this stuff.

I take a 25mg kushy punch gummy every day. Clinic I go to will have a buy one get one free happy hour once in awhile. I stock up. They run $ 20 for cbd. $ 25 for their recovery, 40/60 split cbd thc. 100mg in the package.

I have a 250mg cbd oil I use topically. Few drops at night on my back problem areas. Also use this one with my masseuse. $ 30 bottle

I have a 1000mg cbd oil I’ll do a few drops under the tongue. $ 60 bottle

Both bottles are the same size, 1 fl oz, just strength of cbd differs.

I no longer use CBD because it fucks with my motivation.

You should go to the doctor with your symptoms, stat.

Stage is hard on the knees. And it’s winter so you feel your joints more anyways.

This is very helpful. Thank you 🤗🤗

Posted by Fawne It's because estrogen is somewhat of a pain reliever / anti-inflammatory and when it drops before the period, women are more achy in general.

I get hip pain around the time of my menses because of this. I've tried physical therapy and an osteopath physician. Seeing the physician and physical therapy helped, but oddly acupuncture has been more helpful for my painful periods and the related hip pain it comes with.

Sorry no experience with CBD or any other drugs because I don't take any. Also, I don't have any fibroids or any other abnormalities. I would start out with your regular doctor. Good luck.

I’m glad someone here has the hip pain without having anything actually wrong. I’ve been Googling these symptoms and all I find is a shit ton of endometriosis forums/link because apparently hip pain is a big symptom in endo.

My boyfriends mom has an acupuncturist she loves; maybe I’ll ask for his info.

In the meantime I will ask a medical doctor about it because I also experience mood swings during that time of month and they’re becoming unbearable as well.

Thanks
