I deal with pain in my spine and hips on a regular basis. I was visiting a small shop the other day and told them I dealt with pain every day. They gave me a small candy and said it was cinnamon. I popped it in my mouth and right away the flavor hit me. It was cinnamon with CAROLINA REAPER. Took the pain away right away. I've been using that for a few weeks now and it gives me relief every time.
I also have some wild lettuce chopped up in quart jars filled with vodka. You have to wait 4-6 weeks for the solution to finish "perculating". A shot glass of that stuff works well also but it only lasts for a few hours. I am not much of a drinker so between the two, I have my pain sort of under control.
