There are so many different chronic pains that a general statement about MM working is impossible. For me, I have been dealing with server nerve pain in my leg since aTKR 3 1/2 yrs ago. I researched all the MM and tried it well , now I smoked pot yrs and yrs ago so I felt I knew something about it ,well I can say without a doudt it made my condition worse. Pot was a way of heighting your senses so with me my nerve pain only grew. I have found some edibles help me sleep better. Everyone is different so best of luck and start small

Hello sprinrosa. I'm sorry you experience such pain since your TKR. Living with a chronic pain condition like Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) is frustrating to say the least, I experience it also. You describe hyperalgesia which is a hypersensitivity to pain and stimuli. How do you manage your symptoms currently, besides edibles? Have you ever considered Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC)? You sound like a good candidate.
