@grandmar I haven't tried cryotherapy or medical marijuana. What I found worked for me was accupuncture and controlled breathing. When my pain gets unbearable or a wave/spasm of pain comes over me,I focus on an object and take deep slow breaths. You may want to check out a post in Just Want toTalk. What Distracts you from the pain.

Good Morning!
Thank you for your input. I've tried acupuncture and that did not work for me. I went weekly for a couple of months and waited for something to happen, but nothing ever did.
My pain doc actually sent me to a therapist to help me deal with my pain. We did diaphragmatic breathing, but I found that works only for the moment. When my pain is constant, I did not find it helpful.
I am so happy for you that those techniques work for you!
I will look into the site you suggested.
Thanks
Ronnie (GRANDMAr)

Alright everyone. Get Hemp oil and Hemp lotion. Stadia in San Antonio. No more of all that other stuff
