Does medical marijuana work for chronic pain?

Hello, I see a pain doctor every 3 months. I take a Fentynl patch of 50mcg every 48 hours. I am slowly starting to titrate off of hydrocodone. I take 5.5 tabs throughout a 24 hour period. I have never been tested for the reason or reasons why I have this Chronic pain. My new pain Doctor only wants to talk about titration, which I would be more on board with if we knew what is causing this??. I have excruciating pain throughout my whole body. My hip or sciatic is taking on new symptoms and getting worse. I live in Idaho marijuana use is illegal. My former pain Doctor ( now retired) had no problem with me using it, but I have not asked this new Doctor. Plus, I have urinalisis taken yearly so I don't understand how my other Doc. said yes to it. You can buy it 45 minutes away in Oregon. I don't want to be on pain meds, but I don't know what to do? I have other health issues and one of my Doctors wants to refer me to the Mayo clinic. I'm so tired and I just feel myself getting worse. I really do not know what to do? This is much more complicated than trying to wrap up in a paragraph. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Stacy

@eloise44 Hello Stacy. How long have you been feeling this way, with no diagnosis? Do you have a neurologist? Is that who wants you to be seen at Mayo?
