Been there done that...Then the appendix had to come out, which means they give you a hernia to get them out...Take it easy don't wanna bust out another one...As for your mom that cbd never did me any good, but I have some suggestions...The ointments with advil work purdy good, but some people can't take advil like myself cause I got stage 4 kidney disease...(1st I ever mentioned that on here) The one I use is Capzasin HP....I'd use the advil if I could, I tried it and it worked purdy good...
