    note: both my father & I have medical marijuana cards- two quick q's

    My father has bad rheumatoid arthritis, mostly in the knees and it hampers his job working as a ski guide in the mountains.
    1) He doesn't want to smoke, so does anyone know some relief he can get? I've heard there are rub on topical gels for pain relief and some work for arthritis.

    2) are there any good hybrid strains for joint pain? I frequently dislocate my shoulders & they're painful all day everyday. Cheers!

    Try finding a good salve with high CBD but some THC in it as well. This should bring down his inflammation. With what works for joint pain, I'm a big believer in smelling the buds. I know a lot of cancer patients take Northern Lights for the pain so you can give that a try but I say, if you have access to a dispensary, take the time to smell the jars of bud and let your body decide.

    Salve works good for arthritis. I use olive oil and beeswax and at the end of mixing I add clove oil. It warms which really helps and clove is a natural pain reliever. Peppermint oil cools. I also add comfrey to it as it also reduces inflammation and encourages healing.

    Hello, As the doctor says that hydrotherapy is one of the treatments for illness and injury. That's why last month my friend had installed a walk-in bathtub for his mother because his mother was also dealing with arthritis. He got into contact with the professionals of a the professional listen to all his concerns and had installed a walk-in bathtub in his bathroom with extra features of hydrotherapy jet, because hydrotherapy jets brought relief from the muscle rigidity, and aches from rheumatism and arthritis. So, I think, should also install a walk-in tub in your bathroom it provides effective results for the health issues that your father is suffering from arthritis.

    Hi! THCA works best for those types of inflammation in my experience, topically and/or as an edible. It's also completely non-psychoactive.

    My friend makes an infused coconut oil you can get in CA called Soothing Sue's. I'm a HUGE groupie for it, and use it everyday for all kinds of things!

    If you're not in CA, I'm not familiar with other company's products, but you can make your own need be, pretty easily.
