No matter how old you are, how fit, how well you eat or your weight there is a high chance that you will experience joint pain. Joints are essentially bits of bone that are doing everything they can to rub against each other. The only thing stopping them is fluid, which can wear down over time, or muscles that can become inflamed. The worst thing about joint issues is they usually don’t go away quickly or on their own. This means that many of us need to find ways to go about our days despite the pain. Cannabis is often prescribed to those who struggle with sore joints and arthritis. It is a natural painkiller that can reduce inflammation and help with day to day tasks. These are just a few of the best strains on the market for joint pain.
