According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, more than 790,000 knee replacements are performed each year in the United States.

Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic or ceramic device called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate the movement of a normal, healthy joint.

Knee replacement may be an option when nonsurgical interventions such as medication, physical therapy, and the use of a cane or other walking aid no longer help alleviate the pain. Other possible signs include aching in the joint, pain after extensive use, loss of mobility, joint stiffness after periods of inactivity or rest and/or pain that seems to increase in humid weather.

Knee replacement surgery carries many different risks. Some result directly from the surgery, while others stem from the body’s reaction to the operation. Post op risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, pain, swelling, breathing problems, nerve damage, allergic reaction and in some cases implant failure. Post op treatment includes exercise, using ice, compression devices, cleaning the wound and prescribed pain medications.

Medications used to treat post op pain include fentanyl, morphine, oxycodone, tramadol, acetaminophen, lidocaine, ibuprofen, naproxen, gabapentin and pregabalin. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety, skin rash, swelling, blurred vision, chest pain, cough, headache, diarrhea, mood swings, loss of appetite, low blood pressure, tremors and much more.

Studies show that CBD may help alleviate some of the complications that come with knee or joint replacement surgery without the negative side effects of prescribed medications. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.

CBD acts as an anti-inflammatory, which makes it a great choice for chronic types of pain that are reoccurring and constant. This type of pain is normally found in everything, from arthritis to headaches, cramps, cancer-related pain, and muscle aches. As far as post-surgery pain management goes, CBD may help relieve some of those secondary symptoms, like headaches, muscle pains, arthritis, and other signs of inflammation. CBD may help relieve pain, relax muscles and joints, and improve sleep, which is vital to those recovering from any surgery.

JAYS STORY TO CBD

CBD is all I need Having been in the Cannabidiol industry for quite some time, I was already familiarized with CBD infused products. I understood the basics behind the medicinal value one can receive from CBD, but never the details. I wondered, why are these vendors charging more for the CBD infused products, it doesn’t even get you HIGH! 2013 was the first year I was introduced to CBD infused products.

My store carried a minimal line from a few different companies like EMU Essentials, Soothing Sues, Cheeba Chew, Auntie Annies, Bhang Edibles, and Indi Cream. We carried less than 5 items of each of these companies, 1 offering sublingual, 3 topicals, 2 edibles. By that time, I was no longer smoking Cannabidiol and was opposed to getting HIGH! Since the product was so new, I was only willing to try the topicals, assuming I would get HIGH off other types. The Emu oil worked wonders, I loved it.

It was an oil base, so I would you use it on my stretch marks and noticed a difference in the appearance of my skin. Since most of these companies still contained THC lines there was never a great explanation as to why CBD was more expensive, essentially meaning more beneficial value. I never grew to found of the product because all the Cannabidiol users around me always down played CBD and always stated, “it does nothing for me.” And then I met Lorraine! We hit off from the start and she described to me the benefits she was receiving from the CBD infused products. I was invited into the store and was astonished at the amount of different product available in CBD extracted forms. There was Bath Bombs, Facial Creams, Pet Treats, Honey Sticks, Gummy Bears, Massage Oil, Facial Cleansers, Muscle Creams, Tattoo Creams, and the list goes on and on and on! I have to admit, I was super excited to be apart of the team and to test out all the products.

The salves and lotions I tried right away, the tinctures I was skeptical, still worried about the high. After a few times of Lo’s offerings, I had an excruciating headache and was going to try anything to stop it. And there it was, my non-CBD days were over, after 20min of taking a sublingual my headache went from extreme throbbing to non-existence. My eyes, ears and mouth were open to it all. I began with a 300mg regimen of 1 ml in the am and 1 ml at night. After being on this regimen for about 2 weeks my everyday 12pm headaches were no longer an issue. I wake up feeling rejuvenated, I’m focused, I’m not tired and I sleep like a baby!

I now only take 1 ml at night and I feel great. I’m also using the facial cleanser and moisturizer and have repurchased twice. I wear no facial make-up, I don’t break out and my pores are shrinking. The body lotions are now my everyday lotions! I have not been in a bath and body works for 3 months! That’s amazing, my credit limit is increasing because they want me to come back in! I use the salves for any skin irritants and on my baby’s skin for her everyday rashes.

This stuff is amazing. I’m so excited to try more products and receive all the benefits from it. I’ve learned so much about CBD products and met so many beautiful people with wonderful stories about their benefits from CBD. Living a Healthy Lifestyle is my goal, and with CBD in my system I will accomplish it!

Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful product and the opportunity to be apart of the team!
