I’m 73, with arthritis in my knees, shoulders and in my wrists, especially at the base of both thumbs. However, I’m still an avid golfer, and have about 40 gigs a year playing bluegrass guitar. This product works well, VERY well. I apply it about 45 minutes before golf and music and while not totally pain free, I notice that I am a lot more comfortable with 90% or better of the pain gone. I have tried other CBD oils and gels and this is by far the most effective at reducing pain.
