Appears to me this, Medical Marijuana efficacy depends on person to person.
From the very reliable sourse, I heard that the nurse, in her late '50s working in the large hospital whose work is on her feet almost all day long, 8-hours stretch per day. After she got Medical Marijuana with rx'ed pain med., she got almost 'pain-free' without any negative side effects.
So, reading your post, just wondering whether I need to put myself in Medical Marijuana with Gabapentin(#1 nerve pain med, as far as I know), not now but in future, .... probably 5 years later, since both Tramadol and Gabapentin is minimum dosage, two 50 mg. Tramadols and 400 mg. Gabapentin.

I have more metal in my back than Haley's scrap yard has in its scrap yard, which is only 2 miles from my house. I already told you a while back about the accident I had when I first joined SF, unless I was delusional and was dreaming.
 
A lot of back pain seems to be tied into our mental conditions. It’s practically an emotion.
I found that when I get worked up over something that I can’t do anything about, my back acts up. Now I listen to less news, less talk radio, and more music and entertaining audio books.

Marijuana helps me about 50 percent of the time and the other 50 percent makes me feel worse (anxiety, nausea, headache).

A fun fact: when I asked my primary care doctor about using marijuana along with the pain meds he was going to prescribe, he smiled sadly and said “I cant even talk to you about that since, even though it’s legal in this state, it’s not legal federally. Sorry.”

I think you should use whatever you think will help you personally, MDs are on a short leash and can't even talk about herbs and supplements. Back in the day I told my GYN what I was using to deal with menopause, Red Clover Blossom and other supplement I was using. All he said was you're doing great, keep doing what you're doing. Good enough for me, didn't expect any more from him. He's there to push prescriptions.

There are low dose THC gummies that are very helpful for pain and sleep. If it's legal in your state, no reason not to take advantage. CBD balm applied topically can also be a great assist.
