My personal journey with CBD topicals started after more than twenty years of dealing with knee problems following multiple ACL injuries. I’m sharing what my routine looked like over time — braces, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and eventually adding CBD topical creams as one tool I personally chose for everyday comfort and recovery support.

Everyone’s situation is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. If you have questions about your health, always talk with a licensed healthcare provider.

The Day Everything Changed in My Personal Journey With CBD Topicals

I was 19 years old, playing basketball with my dad, when I landed from a jump shot and felt a level of discomfort I had never experienced before. My foot planted, my body rotated, and my knee gave out. I tore my ACL, my meniscus, and dislocated my right knee.

Eventually an MRI confirmed what I suspected: a complete ligament tear. I had my first ACL surgery using a cadaver ligament, and for almost exactly ten years it held up well enough for me to stay active, work, and keep moving forward.

If you’d like general educational information about ACL injuries, you can learn more from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).

The Second ACL Tear — Building Better Routines and CBD Topicals Curiosity

At 29, while playing basketball again, I tore the same ACL a second time. The injury was serious, and recovery took time. Braces, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes became a normal part of my routine.

Over time, long-term knee support became something I planned around in work, hobbies, and everyday life. That eventually pushed me toward learning more about supportive routines — including topical products like CBD topicals.

Knee Problems Years Later — Why CBD Topical Creams Entered My Routine

About a decade later, my knee started giving me trouble again. Less movement, extra weight, and years of wear and tear made everyday activities harder. I went back to physical therapy and focused on strength, mobility, stretching, and smarter movement.

Around this time, I kept hearing athletes talk about CBD topical creams as part of their routines. Not as magic fixes — but as one more step alongside rest, training, stretching, and recovery habits.

Learning About CBD Topicals (Topical-Only, External Use)

I wanted to understand what CBD topicals were, how they were made, and what ingredients were in them. I wasn’t looking for hype — I wanted transparency: clear labels, ingredient lists, and testing information.

Finding Natural Ultimate CBD — My Personal Journey With CBD Topicals Continues

Eventually I searched online for something that felt more trustworthy and straightforward. That led me to Natural Ultimate CBD, a small, family-run brand focused on topical products and clear communication.

Over time, I liked having a straightforward CBD topical cream as part of my routine — alongside stretching, movement, and the habits recommended by my healthcare professionals. It didn’t replace medical care, but it became one of the everyday tools I personally reached for.

Sharing CBD Topicals With Family and Friends

As I got more comfortable with CBD topicals, I shared them with people close to me. My grandmother tried it first and told me in Spanish, “Esta es la que me gusta. Compra esta.” (“This is the one I like. Buy this one.”)

My wife tried it next — then friends and coworkers. People liked having a clearly labeled, easy-to-use topical option that fit into their after-work routines.

Going Forward — Education-First CBD Topicals and Honest Communication

For me, CBD topicals are simply one part of a broader routine: movement, rest, recovery habits, and being mindful of my body. At Natural Ultimate CBD, we focus on topical products with clear ingredients, third-party testing, and honest communication about what our products are — and what they are not.
