Hello. I am not in chronic pain, but I have had excruciating migraines, in the past, ( menopause took care of them), and a 3 day TMJ, where I couldn't stop crying, and feeling hopeless. I was told to do meditation, by doctors who never had experienced these problems. I had several dental problems, as it turns out. The good news is that many top hospitals are in clinical trials for non- addictive pain killers, and new anti- depression medicines. They are configured CBD, and THC cannabis products. Pfizer is one of the many drug companies conducting trials. I truly believe they will be the start of a new class of medicines. After the 2024 November election, Washington will give the go ahead. After all there are billions to be made!! My sister, who is in severe chronic pain is getting ketamine infusions at UCLA. It is working well. There is also a nasal spray, esketamine, for depression. Of course, these trials are only taking place in states where it is allowed.
