I will agree and disagree with this comment.

In my experience, I find that it depends on the 'type/cause' of the pain. For soft-tissue related I find it helpful, while for hard-tissue related it does not.

Here are my anecdotes.

I've got 3 different types of back problems. (a) deteriorating cartilage between vertebrae causes bone-on-bone grinding -Cannabis does not help with that

(b) muscle spasms in 'other parts' of back from another cause. -Cannabis does help

(c) neuropathy -Cannabis helps quiet the nerves too

IMHO b & c are related, it's a sedative-like effect. AND related to the points in TFA; it helps me to sleep when B & C are active.
