I have some from Bluebird Botanicals waiting for me to try. I hope to start it this week. I'll share my results.

The website leafly.com has detailed information on the attributes of various strains.
Very glad to hear you're doing better. Perhaps you could share with us the names of the cannabis strains that have been most beneficial?

Thx

The two that I've used repeatedly (by way of vaping) are Harlequin (oil) and Critical Mass (flower). The Critical Mass is more readily available to me, otherwise I'd use Harlequin exclusively. In the context of using it when pain either prevents me from getting to sleep or wakes me up, both stop the pain within a couple minutes. With Harlequin I also get a spacey feeling and drift off happily to sleep. The Critical Mass seems slower to kick in for me as far as sedation, and I often get a few more pangs of pain recurring before I get to sleep. During the day I can distract myself from the pain more easily, but if I had to use one during the day I'd try Critical Mass first.

Thumbs up

I just found out that I have PN, but have been using medical cannabis for this pain for about a year. I find it helps me get a few solid hours of sleep. Like others have posted, you really do need to experiment to find the right strain. I like the lower THC strains with a higher CBD. Unfortunately, they are currently hard to find in my location. You might also want to experiment with pure CBD oil. The good stuff without the THC. However, I have been reading that CBD works best with some THC. I can't recall the ratio 2:1. Anyway, don't be afraid to give it a try. I just lucked out today with a pain management doc who will actually sign the forms for the renewal on my medical card. Bless his soul and also the advocates who are working to get the legislation for this natural medicine pushed through at the state and federal levels.
