CBD for Pain

I use both a rub and oil for pain, especially for sleep, I hate how my limbs go numb at night or ache so these are a must have for me - Lavendar in the evening before bed is helpful for sleep

I use this every single day - it has also helped with lymphatic drainage which reduces joint pain - so this with a better diet has allowed me to see a huge improvement in swelling throughout the day as I sit down - I can use this while sitting at my ... When you FEEL GOOD it just makes everything better

Hexaplate Vibration Board 330 lb. weight limit and up to 120 speed - this smaller plate really can get that body moving and I feel it is best for lymphatic drainage if you also don't want to do workouts on it.  This is one I want to get for under my desk as I'm sitting all day to do my feet and calf's with.  The waver vibration board is bigger so refer to that one if you are also wanting to do squats and other workouts

Total Knee Replacement

I think the worst part for me was that they cut through the tendons above the knee - that took a long time to feel better and not be numb - this is a great article from Mayo Clinic

This is my personal chair - with one total knee done and my other knee with no Cartlidge I'm thinking for the future - I've already had to share with the dog and found both my sons snoozing in it at different times - its very very comfortable.  My video is on Amazon or on Youtube as well

Pics 1 and 4 are my mom's chair - has been amazing for her.  I only bought the other brand for myself as it was bigger and the same price.  You can buy Mcombo on Wayfair as well, but their prices are higher than Amazon.  I will tell you that as an influencer I've seen several people buy different cheaper chairs and then return them so becareful and I do suggest the DUAL MOTOR options - both my chair and moms chairs are whisper quiet.  Either brand is amazing
