It has helped me significantly with chronic back pain.
Also, the narcotics, while helpful in the short term can fool the body into ceasing to create it's own natural pain killer. Then, it takes more and more narcotics to do the trick until they simply cannot, leading to hyper-algesia, or super pain, as I like to call it.
I had taken so many narcotics that I ended up in screaming pain and nothing would relieve it. I was transported to hospital where they tried ever increasing doses of morphine, fentanyl, etc. Then they filled me with ketamine and that broke it. I had to get off the narcs ASAP and it was absolutely miserable, but I'm so glad I did it. Now, even though my physiology has not changed, exercise and medical cannabis have had me narc free and pain much reduced for almost 2 years.
Good luck, I understand how pain can take over your thoughts and life.
