What CBD topical brands have worked best for managing RA pain?

While there isn't a single "best" brand, myRAteam members have shared their experiences with various CBD topicals. One member mentioned using a CBD hand cream with 600 milligrams and found it wonderful. Another uses 200-milligram CBD lotion as their go-to for quick pain relief.

Some members apply CBD oil directly to stiff and painful hands at least daily and find it helpful. One member shared that running out of their CBD cream for just three days caused their pain to escalate significantly.

However, results vary. Some members tried CBD lotions and oils but didn't feel any relief from their RA symptoms.

Beyond CBD, other topical products that members have found helpful include:

* Voltaren gel (a topical NSAID) - described as "the best topical" by some members
* Biofreeze - noted for penetrating deeper into joints and muscles
* Aspercreme roll-on
* Capsaicin creams
* Arnica gel

It's important to talk with your rheumatologist before trying CBD or any topical treatment. CBD can interact with RA medications like corticosteroids, NSAIDs, and Xeljanz, potentially making them less effective or causing safety concerns.
