There's something I've really been wondering about, but it seems nobody ever answers me when I mention it in other threads. I'm also wondering if it's typical of other people, or it's just me.

A brief description of my condition; I have soft tissue damage throughout my upper and lower back, and in my neck. Nerve damage in 3 points in my spine, extremely painful needles that go down my arms (though that's gone since I got on lyrica), and sciatica + burning pain in my entire legs, all the way around.

I don't smoke cannabis now, but when I did for the first year 1/2 it was an amazingly strong analgesic (painkiller). But in the last year and a half I've smoked it, it actually makes my pain considerably worse. The inflammation in my spine just explodes and my whole spine from neck to back would worsen by about 3x. It still works awsomely for neuralgia, that is it eliminates my sciatica and needles down the arms, but otherwise my back and neck just get SO much worse.

Isn't there SOME scientific literature out there somewhere, or perhapse somebody here with medical knowledge, who could explain this? Because honestly I couldn't find anything through google indicating pain being made worse by weed.
