Anyone ever try CBD cream for pain?

I have TMJ so I get jaw muscle pain often. Some days its mild, other days I need to lay down 2 to 3 hours its so bad. I remember trying a CBD cream once years ago on the jaw area, and it felt better! Does it work for you? Should I buy one of the creams at CVS?

lots of people say it does, but not for me. i use a capsicum cream on my jaw joint for TMJ and trigeminal neuralgia. gotta start out with a small amount and build up, in case you're hyper-sensitive to it, but it's been a miracle treatment for me

@SW-User What is capsicum cream? Maybe it would help me, sometimes the pain is debilitating.

@Coralmist there are many brands, but each uses oil of the seed of cayenne pepper/capsicum. you can read up on how it works to deplete vanilloid pain enzymes, otherwise known as substance P. it literally reduces inflammation within nerves that signal pain to your brain.
