HEALING STORIES - CHRONIC PAIN

Looking for a natural way to soothe chronic pain?

TOM'S CHALLENGE

I broke my neck in a car accident in 1998 when I was in my early 30s. The car flipped over seven times. I’m incredibly lucky that I wasn’t paralyzed, but my life was completely changed because of constant pain. My doctor prescribed me hydrocodone and over the next couple years I ‘graduated’ to oxycodone and oxycontin.

After taking oxycontin for four years, it wasn’t doing much for the pain because I’d built up a tolerance. I couldn’t stop taking it or I would have severe withdrawals. I went to a recovery program for addicts but quitting seemed impossible. Quitting for just two days led to muscle spasms in my back and neck and severe pain.

Next they gave me Fentanyl, a stronger opiate, as well as several other medications to deal with its side effects, but it created a whole new set of problems. I was drowsy all the time. When it wore off I became irritable towards my wife and children. It was a vicious cycle.

Then my son told me about full spectrum hemp oil. After trying several other brands, I decided on a couple pain creams and a tincture from Jenny’s Baked at Home.

TOM'S SOLUTION

The first products I tried were the Almond Extra Strength Pain Cream and the Lemon Basil Healing balm, both of which I put on my neck and upper back. It left me with a tingling sensation and increased mobility after about an hour.  I also use the Hemp-Infused Ginger Tincture in the mornings before I go to work.

Full spectrum hemp oil alleviates inflammation and reduces pain in a natural way. By using Jenny’s Baked at Home Hemp-Infused Ginger Tincture, Almond Extra Strength Pain Cream and Lemon Basil Healing Balm, and working with my doctor, I have newfound energy and feel my pain management regimen is working!

Getting off powerful opiates has completely turned my life around. I’m like a completely different person. I found myself smiling and laughing again. I feel more connected to my wife and kids.

About a month after starting to take Jenny’s products I went to to a movie, one of those “chick flicks” my wife drags me to, and found myself literally crying, something I hadn’t done in years. That’s when I knew I finally had my life back.
