Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

I am 83 and in good health except for pain. I take three tramadol a day as well as Tylenol twice. My pain is from spinal stenosis, lumbar and cervical, and nerve pain at L 3,4 and 5 I for which I've had ablations a year apart but it does wear off. I have mild neuropathy in my feet from L5 I'm told (for another discussion) I also have on bone knees. Before going to bed I take .25 Ml of a 1.1 ratio CBD/THC tincture, which helps me fall asleep. My feet burn a bit so I stick them out of the covers and it subsides after about ten minutes, or the tincture takes over, I'm not sure which one. I would like to quit Tramadol and have tried to reduce it but in the end it seems to be what works for me. I would like to use the tincture during the day but even at the that low dose I find it makes me a bit high after an hour and I am afraid of falling. Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions that might help me?

I would look for a CBD product for taking in the morning. I am taking 0.5ml of 220mg/ml CBD with terpenes, it is not as effective as THC/CBD, but it will tie you over if you need to drive somewhere. I take the THC/CBD in the afternoon when I no longer need to drive.
