Hello Cannabis.com Forum Go-ers,

A quick, relevant, background story about my condition:

Alright, to keep it short, two years ago I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a malignant bone cancer, in my right fibula. After going through a lot of chemotherapy, I had a limb-sparing surgery. Since the fibula doesn't bear a lot of weight, they took out the top 65% of it and didn't replace it with anything. I am very grateful that I was able to keep my leg, but I do have some problems that at times can be very debilitating and tend to keep me from doing a lot of the things I enjoy.

My right leg hasn't been the same since my surgery, I get these extremely annoying aches in my leg that makes it hard to focus on anything. My surgeon said that these may never go away and I might have to put up with them for the rest of my life. In addition, I often get really bad cramps when I'm trying to sleep at night. He recommended that I take an OTC pain relief medicine (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc...), but i find those to be ineffective. I refuse to take any sort of opioid for pain due to a dependance I developed in the months following my surgery. I need something to help me relieve my pain and live my life in a somewhat pleasurable manner.

To sum it up, I am looking for an effective way to manage my pain, and am too afraid of the possibility of dependance to even consider using an opioid to help me manage my pain. Would the use of cannabis be effective in managing my pain?
