Members shared mixed but generally positive experiences with Hempvana for rheumatoid arthritis pain, with several finding that while it didn't eliminate pain completely, it took the edge off and improved mobility when applied multiple times daily. Many members described additional strategies they've tried, including CBD/THC oils and creams (particularly a 1:1 ratio blend), copper-infused gloves for hand swelling, heat pads for nighttime relief, and combining topicals with medications like Lyrica, though one member cautioned about timing these together. A recurring theme was the willingness to experiment with over-the-counter and alternative options when prescription medications fall short, the importance of discussing new supplements with doctors to avoid drug interactions, and maintaining realistic expectations that topicals may reduce rather than cure pain.

No I have not. A relative recommended it to me. I read some research, seems positive. I am also reading about the bee hive and Carbon 60. Please share any info you may have.

I use Hempvana and I love it. It's been the only topical pain reliever that works for me. I hope it works for you too.

Tropicals have not worked for me since adulthood but they did when I was a child. Good luck and let us know.

I have tried Hempvana and it helped a little. For the pain in my hands I have copper infused gloves. That helps with the swelling also.

Thanks Carol for the info. I am so happy its working for you. The Hempvana takes the edge off my pain, but does not eliminate completely. I had an appointment with my PC yesterday. He had me on Lyrica (Pregabalin) and I complained about the weight gain. So he took me off that . I told him about the Hempvana and he said if it works, stay with it. He took me off the Duluxetine too, (I was taking it for the sciatica). It had stopped working so he is sending me to an orthopedic doctor about my knees and feet. While I was there, he checked my circulation in my legs and feet and results came back normal. The blood work he did last month was very good. My heart, lungs, BP, and O2 intake are very good, it's just this RA that's giving me the devil.

I hope the more I use the Hempvana, it will eliminate more pain. It's amazing sometimes how OTC meds you'd never think of using, helps the most. Take care my friend!
