Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

My pain doctor has only given me 5 mg oxycodone a total of 45 pills for a month. Ever since I had COVID-19 it feels like the oxycodone not only lasts under 5 hrs, also seems inconsistent from pill to pill out of same bottle. Have goggled and many people are also complaining giving oxycodone 1 out of 5 stars.. for pain and they are taking 20-30mg every 6 hours. I tried the CBD/THC gummies but I didn't think they worked at all for me 20 mg and my reaction to them gave me worse pain, but they can work to sleep if pain levels are low.

A common dose of oxycodone is 5mg with Tylenol 325mg and it is not a long acting medication as the half-life is 3-5 hours which coincides with what you stated as effectiveness. You might try talking to your doc about switching to Morphine Sulfate (long acting) instead, which may provide you with better pain relief if it’s chronic. My journey took me from Tylenol w/ Codeine #3 and eventually to #4 then to Morphine Sulfate LA to Buprenorphine Patch 20mcg.
