Hello,
While cannabis research has historically focused on THC, synthetic cannabinoids, or our own naturally occurring cannabinoids (endocannabinoids). A recently published study concluded that "topical CBD application has therapeutic potential for relief of arthritis pain and inflammation"

While there is no best cbd oil product, there is probably a best ratio of CBD:THC to suit your goals. Products with higher concentrations of CBD vs THC, such as 20CBD:1THC, will lessen, or even eliminate, psychoactive effects. However, products with similar levels of CBD and THC have been shown to alleviate pain most. So, for most people, it takes some trial and error before finding an ideal compromise. Dosages will vary according to the patient’s goals, pain level, tolerance, current medications, the CBD to THC ratio and other factors. Accordingly, I recommend that you consult with a qualified physician. Here are a few recommended products for musculoskeletal pain:
(1) https://www.cbd.org/products/cbd-sublingual-spray 18:1
(2) https://treatwellhealth.com/products/wellness-and-balance-blends/ (the "Balance Blend")for daytime.
(3) https://truefarma.com/product/sweet-releaf-extra-strength-
(4)https://www.cbd.org/products/cbd-chocolate (2:1) at nighttime
Please consult with a physician before starting any regimen.

I agree with Dr Kim that a higher CBD topical is excellent for relieving pain but I have personally experienced relief by applying the topical to the spine every 20 minutes for the first hour then once an hour during your waking hours and your pain should be greatly reduced very quickly. By continuing to apply the topical every hour during my waking hours, my pain completely resolved in 1 week and the pain never returned. I used a topical that was close to 1:1 but just slightly dominant in CBD. Taking CBD internally would also be recommended for a rapid recovery.
