Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Marijuana not approved as a drug for medical illness even though it has got some actions. Because it’s risks outweighs its benefits. It’s not a good analgesic (pain killer) also. You can consult a pain specialist/physiatrist for the management of pain.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
