Osteoarthritis is inflammation of a joint space connecting two bones, such as the fingers, wrists, hips, back, and knee joints.
People with osteoarthritis often complain of pain in the affected joint, commonly accompanied by redness, a sensation of heat, and minor swelling.
Osteoarthritis typically develops gradually over many years.
Initially, it presents as an occasional mild ache in the joints, progressing into chronic pains, stiffness, and swelling.
The person with osteoarthritis begins to avoid specific painful movements to guard against the pain, resulting in further stiffness, limited range of motion, and decreased mobility.
Patients with joint or health concerns should be evaluated by a provider or specialist and thoroughly worked up to find the correct diagnosis to optimize treatment and management.
Bradly speaking, various forms of arthritis have become the leading cause of disability in the U.S., with more than 46 million people suffering various physical difficulties (CDC).
Western medicine claims little specific knowledge of this ailment's causes, treatments, or cures.
However, more than one hundred different causes for arthritis are considered, including scleroderma and viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.
Limited treatments focus on suppressing pain and diminishing inflammation flare-ups.

Concerns about Cannabis and Cancer-related Immunotherapies:
Some recent clinical observational studies have suggested that the co-administration of cannabinoid-based therapeutics and immunotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of certain types of cancer has been associated with worse overall survival rates (T. Taha et al., 2019; A. Biedny et al., 2020; G. Bar-Sela et al., 2020).
However, other studies have suggested that the co-commitment use of immune checkpoint inhibitors and cannabis-induced no such deleterious effects. More specifically, one trial was conducted on animals resulting in data suggesting that cannabis did not negatively affect the properties of immune checkpoint inhibitors (B. Waissengrin et al., 2023). The same authors compared the previous study results with findings from a cohort of 201 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who received treatment with monotherapy pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment and adjunct cannabis to treat mainly pain and loss of appetite. Their time to tumor progression was 6.1 versus 5.6 months, and overall survival differed between 54.9 versus 23.6 months in cannabis-naïve patients and cannabis-using patients, respectively. However, while numerically different, the authors write that these differences were not statistically significant, leading them to suggest that “These data provide reassurance regarding the absence of a deleterious effect of cannabis in this clinical setting.”
