Bulging Disc Pain
Posted by Hollyhock (America) on 06/19/2026
 ★★★★★

I've suffered from 3 bulging discs in my lower back for 20 years! Yesterday was the worst day ever! I couldn't walk, each step was excruciating! My granddaughter came right over with cbd low thc in a dropper bottle. She said take half a dropper under my tongue. I also rubbed some on my lower spine. Within an hour I was walking and amazed! How can this be? After years of useless pain killers and much suffering! I am a happy 71 year old! I guess don't knock it till you try it is my message!!

Side Effects

I had never had an issue with hemp CBD. Tried the CBD CBG from two different companies, both full and broad spectrum. Strangely, I was INCREASINGLY in pain and having alarming pains in my chest. I never would have suspected the CBD CBG but I stopped taking it for a week and noticed that these issues were not present during that time. Research led me to learn that seems there can be heart effects for some users as well as increased pain. For those for whom CBD CBG presents no side effects, it's a wonder. But if you're taking it and feeling "off" it could be the culprit.

For lower back and hip pain I quit all forms of caffeine and fluoride. In a week or less the pain is gone.

Helped my knees, too

William Randolph Hearst. If you're filthy wealthy the world is your oyster, that's what my mother used to say. It means you can buy anything. As for the CBD gummies, those are fine but it will take a while to get rid of your pain. I use the liquid, make my mouth very dry by swallowing, then place it on my tongue and move it all over the inside of my mouth until it's absorbed as much as possible. The relief is almost instant but it's up to you on what you prefer.

I go through Eden's Herbals because they always have a deal going on. I was just able to get BOGO so I purchased over $300 to last for year. I buy the kind with NO THC in the liquid form. I have severe fibromyalgia with ADHD and it helps a lot. I've been taking it for over 6 years and most likely for the rest of my life. You'll want to start out low and slow, taking approx 250-300mg 2x/dly and work your way up. You should also look into tDCS aka transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for your pain. They have montages aka node placement for pain on the right and left side, so you can do both. My pain is mostly on the left side but using that almost everyday I have no pain. Another natural supplement is from Magnilife, they have meltaways specifically for back and leg pain. I used it when I had a sciatica attack and it helped a lot. Don't forget about the ACVW/ ginger tea and honey. That's also a good pain killer. I use that when I have a fibromyalgia flare up, those are nasty and keep me up all night. Good luck to you, your pain sounds chronic so you might want to look at my postings for fibromyalgia about the chronic pain.

Hi Ruralady, I am an 88 year old lady, and have followed a healthy diet ever since I was in my twenties. However, I now have pain in my lower spine and hips, and have to recourse to pain killers to block the pain, which I'm not keen on doing, as they upset my stomach. I've had an MRI scan done, and it's not arthritis. How much CBD do you take a day, in what form, and where do you purchase it please?

I believe this about WRH, no doubt about it. I too take CBD 2x/dly. I first took it for very difficult menopause and it helped so much. Now I take it for my severe fibromyalgia and it does wonders. It also calms down my ADHD which is a blessing.

A friend sent CBD gummies to me and they gave me heart palpitations so now I am afraid to try them again. I have supraventricular tachycardia. Any ideas on how to avoid them from causing me issues. Also, I am gluten intolerant. Could it be they have gluten in them?

OK Art, et al,

CBD, which I have been associated with and studied as a medical professional for decades (and owner inceptor of 2 CBD stores) is covered in National Institutes of Heal and Pub Med studies that weakly show its effectiveness against Parkinsons and all spasmodic disorders. Why do you think that people flocked to Colorado to use CBD a dedade ago when it was only used here? Why do you think Sanjay Gupta MD cried when he saw seizures disappear in minutes with his own eyes and apologized profusely for ever maligining CBD? In our stores we have a ledger that people weigh in with to describe their personal results and it is incredible what CBD does for pain, inflammation and relaxation right down to the nervous system which is why seizures and Parkinsons commonly stop forever. Supposedly, 47% of children have stopped all seizures in one day and forever. Why in the world do people think that CBD is marijuana? It cannot get you high and has almost zero thc which is another great and innocent healer. In our stores we have people with Parkinsons with resting tremors so bad they need an attendant to function and one week later they roll into the store to get some more CBD completely functional and independent. Look, I am a combat injured Marine from Viet Nam who got the high medical degree in therapeutic science OTR at 50 years old. I do not lie. Just study a bit and you will be astonished.... try CBD vs Parkinsons....CBD vs seizures... CBD vs cancer .. CBD vs pain, inflammation, depression like that. Just study. I am only asking that people get rid of old habits and look at these realities and truths. I never prescribe anything. I only ask people to study and heal as they wish.

Hello Art and EC,

Hey EC,,, please excuse me for the aggressive comments on your lack of attention to CBD. Common folks have been underinformed and wrongly informed about CBD as related to THC or marijuana and either are wary of it or have no knowledge of it. I see you did your part by posting about it. Again, thanks so much for all you do.

There are a myriad of studies on Pub Med and NIH regarding the efficacy and healing properties of this marvelous substance CBD, that cannot get you high. And as folks sip some coffee (the carrier for the legal drug, caffeine) and have a cigarette or some wine tonight, all legal and potentially very addictive and dangerous substances, they continue to malign marijuana as a dangerous drug. All so wrong and outdated.... Now back to CBD. I took 10 times the dosage of cbd, maybe 150 mg and it did nothing but make me calm.... did it by accident.

As a lifelong researcher like you, Art, and Ted, I have seen the astounding effects of this ultra safe substance and am so glad to have found it. With CBD being legal in all 50 states for many years and marijuana being legal in more than half of all states, it is about time to open the door of everyone's consciousness and learn about the actual things the hippies did in the 60's to expand their minds :

Marijuana and hallucinogens.... they didn't do uppers, downers, prescription drugs, cocaine, crack, meth or anything else. They were way ahead of that and really wanted to know why we are here and how to live their best lives. For your info, hallucinogenic therapy is the absolute rage in psychology starting with daily monitored administration by John's Hopkins and Harvard Med school.... Please look that up and convince yourselves of these truths.

I ask that everyone open up a bit and do a little reading and see what CBD is all about. Best to all,,,, Jeff

Just a note to add; CBD comes from the hemp plant and hemp has for 100 years been the incredible plant that big business has so much feared and maligned. Why? It is the best food, fuel, paper, cloth, textile and medicine(CBD) in the world. This is all proven info. Why did Marijuana get on schedule one of dangerous drugs in 1938? Because William Randolph Hearst owned all the forests and paper mills and major newspapers of California and a hemp machine was invented that would make wood pulp paper obsolete and create the best paper in the world, hemp linen paper, which grows 4 times per acre what trees do for pulp, and grows it every year instead of trees which take 30 years.

So he wrote a bunch of lies about marijuana (that black guys were raping white women while high) and got together with Eli Lilly, the drug company and the gas companies because hemp creates 4 times more ethanol than corn per acre..... and they all conspired to malign marijuana which is not hemp, but they couldn't find anything wrong with hemp so they came after the innocent psychoactive thc..... look all this up and find out it is the absolute truth. I am here to help people, I am a disabled combat injured Viet Nam Marine veteran and do not lie. Best to all.
