Hi, I am 33 and have been diagnosed with AVN. I recently underwent a post exterior hip replacement in my right hip. I was prescribed oxycodone for the post op pain and have dependent on that painkiller. I have already started to show cysts in my left hip and the pain in my knees is growing stronger everyday. I know there are going to be more surgeries on the horizon for me which means more painkillers. I am also an alcoholic who has been sober for two years, I do not want to increase my dependence on the oxycodone to treat the pain and I have been wondering if cannabis has been shown to be of any help in managing the pain? Marajuana is a no no in the AA community but so is the abuse of pain killers, and of the two I think the cannabis would be a far healthier form of pain control to someone like me who already has a fragile liver. Just looking for some advice as a the pain grows. Thanks
