Multiple pain sympto: What u r having is common , talk with u physician and seek his advise , but remebe pain can be chronic and medication can only help u deal with it. As far cannabis goes , i don't advise u to use it since it can cause symptoms similar to schizophrenia . Good luck.

Possibly helpful: Studies have demonstrate utility of medicinal cannabis for fibromyalgia. Depression is regarded by many doctors to naturally follow upon chronic restless non- restorative sleep. Medicinal cannabis patients report marked sleep benefit from minimal cannabis, which has never shown addictive potential. Middle-age persons, beyond adolescent self-image problems, usually have no dependency issues.
