When I smoked recreationally many years ago, it would always greatly intensify the pain in a place on my back where I had a muscle knot that was always mildly painful. I have no idea what we were smoking back then!

Lately I've used several high CBD strains. One of the ones I've used most, Critical Mass (indica), occasionally brings out the pain in that same area. Oddly, it takes away the nerve pain at the same time. The other one I've used most and never had that problem, is Harlequin, which is sativa-dominant.

So my advice if you've only used one strain is to experiment with others if possible. My doctor says the effects vary by person and to go trial-by-error. What you're going through sounds miserable. Good luck!
I've been growing and using for about a year now. I have found it to be of help with sleep and pain. I have not noticed it making pain more noticeable but it could be in some ways that I'm not aware of. I grew three strains but can't remember which ones off the top of my head but they all seem to do the job albeit with slightly different effects. I gave a small chunk of cannabutter I made to my neighbor (it's all legal in Oregon now) and she was floored by a tiny bit that was a fraction of what I need now. It can leave me a little loopy in the morning for about an hour or two.
