in a short yes
I have suffered from the same thing for a while now, at least 15 years. First time was the worst caseu I didnt know what was happening. I changed my diet, exercized more and I still get them as well. but so do alot of people in my family.

They perscribed morphine drip and oxycotten, and a bunch of other crap, but I never filled those perscriptions casue I know what opiates do to people and the people around them. so in the begaing I just basicaly got a stick from out side and bit down and hoped it would only last 5 hours or so, but I did have to vist the er a couple times.

About 10 years ago I srted smoking when I got an attack, it helped alot, and now I found that using ibprofane also helps. and you can mix with cannabis. Ibeprofane for the swelling, and cannbis for the pain. One thing I do recomend is have ing alot of realy good meds around, and even better would be to have alot of pure extract . oil or bubble hash. Becaseu to combate pain that is that intense you will be smoking alot. I mean a oz a day, when your having an attack.
When under that kind of pain chemicals in the brain change and keep you from going into shock, and what I have notcied is right when the adrenalin kicks in the cannbis is very diluted and the high is almost completely not their, depending on how intense the pain is. but as long as I keep smoking about 2 or 3 grams a hour sometimes, or a couple (3-4 hits sometimes) hits of oil, then the pain is not realy their. It kind f numbs the pain a bit, more like preassure and not fetal possion pain.
