What can help with constant pain in back, hips and legs?

I have constant pain level of an 8-9 in my lower back, buttocks, and back of legs. My pain meds don't seem to be helping. Three years of a pain pump hasn't helped. Recently, what has helped is a small line of THC extract on a piece of chocolate. It takes one to two hours for it to kick in, but my pain is greatly reduced. The main side effect is my feeling like I am am in a disconnected reality. I am still weighing the pros and cons.

FWIW Heisenburg, I think it's fine to feel a little disconnected from reality now and then. Reality is the number one cause of my pain…….
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried weed under a Dr's care while living in CA. I hadn't smoked weed since the early 70s. I had no idea how concentrated the THC has become. So trying a small dose to start is wise - maybe it's always wise.

@heisenberg34 pain meds didnt seem to help me much after so long and i didn't like asking for them all the time. The Doctors always made me feel bad for asking, like I was doing something wrong so I talked to my primary about thc and it helped me sleep at least. The disconnected feeling is not super fun but for me it seems like a good option. Natural cant be as bad as synthetic prescriptions but I'm no Dr!!! If I can help in any way let me know. You are not alone in the battle. This place is great for others listening and sharing their experiences. Best of luck to you!!
