CANNABIS OIL CHANGED MY LIFE AFTER YEARS OF PAIN

-

Kelly Tweedle's agonising ordeal began during her second pregnancy when she developed SPD – symphysis pubis dysfunctio­n – a condition that causes a debilitati­ng pain in the hips, back and upper legs.

It was so bad, Kelly, 37, spent six months of her pregnancy having to use crutches to get around.

Although for many women the condition improves and disappears after giving birth, Kelly continued to suffer the chronic pain SPD brings for nine years after her son, Alfie was born.

Neither over-the-counter painkiller­s, nor stronger tablets that were prescribed by her doctor managed to control Kelly’s pain.

But that that all changed last summer when she started taking half-a-dozen drops of Nutrivive CBD oil under her tongue every day. Kelly is now free from the pain and has now completed a training programme that takes her from the couch to running a distance of 5k.

Kelly, a former midwife explains how the crippling pain from the SPD affected her and how Nutrivive CBD oil has had an amazing effect on her life:

“SPD is a condition that is very underrecog­nised for the amount of pain it can cause.

“I was on crutches after being six months pregnant with Alfie. The pain in my hips was unbelievab­le. At first I wore a belt during the day to help with the pain, but it got so bad I had no option but to get about on crutches.

“My legs wouldn’t move like I wanted them to and it would take me ages to do something simple and straightfo­rward as get out of bed. It’s a horrible pain and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”

Kelly continued: “Whenever I’d take part in any physical activity it would flare up again and would last for weeks at a time. I had physiother­apy, but that didn’t cure the problem. I resigned myself that I wasn’t going to be cured of the pain and tried to accept that I had a dodgy hip.”

Kelly found out about Nutrivive through a relative who used their CBD oil. Nutrivive is a UK based company – run by brothers, John and Harry Mcdonough – and their premium CBD oil contains cannabidio­l, which is the part of the cannabis plant with pain relieving, calming and healing properties.

The oil is legal, safe and non-addictive, as it doesn’t contain the THC compound that gives the ‘high’ associated with cannabis. Every batch of Nutrivive CBD oil is tripletest­ed for quality of content in one of Europe’s top testing facilities.

Kelly said: “I did some research and was quite impressed, so I thought I would give it a go.

“After a couple of weeks putting half a dozen drops of Nutrivive CBD oil under my tongue, I noticed I wasn’t suffering as much pain in my hips. And by the time I’d finished my first bottle there was a massive difference and I couldn’t wait to order another bottle.

“I realised it was definitely the Nutrivive CBD that was making me pain-free because I went for a few weeks without taking the oil and my hip pain came back. As soon as I started taking the Nutrivive again, the pain disappeare­d. That really brought it home to me that the oil was working.”

“It’s massively changed my life and I wouldn’t be able to do the things many people take for granted if it wasn’t for the CBD oil.”
