Some years ago, my husband Ted and I found ourselves in Denver, visiting our friend Bev who used to live near us in Rhode Island. Ted's lower back was sore enough to keep him camped out in Bev's apartment for a day. Fortunately for us, Bev had a jar of this CBD lotion (legal at that time in Colorado, though not yet in Massachusetts) and suggested we rub it on his back. Voila! The next day, Ted's back was back in action. Ever since, we've kept Apothecanna Extra Strength Body Creme on hand for muscular pain relief. I rub it on my wonky knees almost every night.
