The first day I tried it I put it on my bad (left) knee and 13 holes in my good (right) knee started to bother me, and my bad (left) knee was perfect. The next time out golfing I put it on both knees and I had zero pain through 20 holes (I was playing a twilight round)! You can say I am a believer of this massage cream. One disclaimer is there is other pain reliving ingredients besides CBD, so conceivably its the other stuff, but it doesn't matter. This solves my knee pain while playing golf.
My wife also has a knee problem and tried a ($45... WTF) CBD-based ointment recommended by her hairdresser (who is apparently very knowledgeable about everything).

Anyway she was initially very enthusiastic about it after trying it. I thought she might have been reacting to another ingredient that provided a cooling sensation but was happy she felt she had some pain relief. Anyway a month later she is back to using the ointment prescribed by her doctor and much less enthusiastic about the CBD-based ointment. Hopefully you get better sustained results.
