My best friend now lives in Canada where cannabis is completely legal and regulated. He posted me some THC body butter. I get this symptom in my lower legs which feels like I’m wearing really tight socks up to the knee. It is painful and uncomfortable. I take Baclofen but it makes no difference to this. The body butter came yesterday. This morning, my legs were tight and painful. I rubbed the body butter in and within ten minutes the feeling was gone. Like normal. I’d forgotten what it feels like. Mind. Blown. I’m lucky in that I can get it sent over. Why the hell are we so bloody behind in this country? It drives me up the wall that this stuff is not widely available. Edit: I CANNOT GIVE YOU THE NAME. PLEASE STOP ASKING ME. IT IS ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY AND IS NOT AVAILABLE HERE.
that sounds great, I know their selling something on healthspam like this, do you know what the percentage of thc is in the 1 you get ?
Thanks Jean
Anything being sold in the UK will not have THC in it. This is 20%. I find it such a shame that it takes me having to get it delivered from abroad to get these benefits!
I have tried hemp balm on my back in the past and it didn’t work. I didn’t even think about using it on my legs. Not sure it will work on my legs if it didn’t work on my back but this a brilliant idea and is definatley worth a try! My legs get so tight sometimes it is unbearable.
I know this country is way behind…big pharma rules …sounds great i have tightness all the time …
CBD on its own is pretty pointless. You need THC which is the psychoactive component, which is illegal in this country. You won’t get anything good over here unfortunately.
Did you know that GW Pharma, based in UK, are the biggest exporter of cannabis IN THE WORLD? Yes that’s right we export more cannabis than any other country, and yet it’s still illegal.

Hi Deb
I get Botox injected into spastic muscles in legs which relaxes the spasticity/tightness for up to 3/12
Has this been suggested to you?
Hope of help
Interesting Boojum. I had Botox injection in my hamstring in December for the first time. I was so excited and waiting for some improvements. Nothing! No effect whatsoever. I’m wondering if the neurologist could have missed the exact spot for injection as she didn’t want me to stand up from the wheelchair and did it as she knelt on the floor beside me?
Hi Boojum. I have not long been diagnosed with ms. I am not having any treatment at the moment.
Hi Poppy
Could also be the dose given as it needs to be tailored to your needs. Are you going back to discuss having further treatment with a different increased dose perhaps?
I also get mine while sitting in wheelchair

Some years ago, I had 8 botox injections in my legs for painful heels. They said they don’t inject into feet. But it did zilch and was sooooo painful!
Thanks for the info Boojum. I’m seeing her again in March so I can ask what’s next. I did wonder about dosage. I’m hoping she was being cautious to begin with as she was very clear telling me that there is the possibility that Botox would relax the muscle too much and I wouldn’t be able to weight bear and shuffle with my walker. Fingers crossed for next time!
So if it is illegal here surely you cannot have it sent over? No?
It’s strange to get high of cannabutter, honestly. I use a thc and CBD body butter (homemade by recipe (removed by moderator)on my stomach to prevent stretch marks and use it on my back when I have lower back pain. As long as you don’t eat it or apply it directly into an open wound it won’t enter your blood stream so how can you get high?
Any issues with customs?
