It’s an individual quest, but start with afghani genetics. Gnome Automatics Anvil or Coal Miner’s Daughter contain 5 afghani cultivars.
Thanks man

Some cultivars that work for me
1: Anvil , Gnome Automatics
2: CMD , same
3: 24Ct , Mephisto
4: Blue Microverse, Night Owl seeds
All the above carry dragon genetics, a deeper stone.

I am a pain patient.
Generally, heavy indicas work best for me, though there are some sativas like Super Silver Haze that do the trick.
Others suggest starting with Afghani strains, and I totally agree.
Some seedbanks wont list medical symptoms. When you browse seedbanks look for "heavy" "body buzz" "couchlock" "sedative" "narcotic" etc. in the descriptions.
Leafly has some info about symptoms.
The good news is there is medicine out there that works for you. The other news is that everyone is different and you will have to experiment.
Sage advice: At the beginning, I grew some that were fun but didn’t tame my symptoms, I ended up giving a lot of it away. Lesson learned. Now I make sure that I grow a good stash of tried and true strains before I commit to growing an unfamiliar strain.
Ie I have about 9 oz of good strains, enough to last me 2 grow cycles, and now I am taking a chance on a new one. Granted, this new one has Afghani roots and there is a strong chance it will work for me.
Some indicas that worked for well for me include Night Queen, Blackberry Kush, Pink Kush, Death Bubba, Mazar, LSD, Blueberry (indica) and a few sativas Liberty Haze, Blue Dream, Ghost Train, Amnesia, Super Silver Haze.
But your mileage may vary. Good luck!

There's a few of us here who let plants mature till mostly or ALL trics are orange. That, my friends, has been my only pain med through multiple surgeries. Find some strain with dragon genetics from our old friend Stone.

Can recommend Gorilla Zkittlez for pain relief.
Some say that Taskenti is the best for pain. So, maybe Uzbek, too?

BTW, some Barneys and Heavyweight THC strains have a bit of CBD, like between 1.5 and 3% or so. Like "old school" weed was back in the day.
You will find that CBD has been bred out of most modern strains because it isnt psychoactive. Some people get better results if there is a bit of CBD.
You can always grow or buy some cbd flower to blend in, if desired. I sometimes do this to make motivating sativas more less edgy and better for pain. .

- DIY - CBD:THC Edibles
It's interesting to me how most people are recommending THC strains for pain. I can't be stoned all day, I'm not a social or productive stoner, and I can't spend that much time being useless. So I've leaned heavily into CBD for all day and night, adding THC in the evenings for the extra help it brings.
I'm only able to do edibles, so that's all I can speak to from experience. CBD doses, at least in edibles, are not comparable to THC. While 10mg THC gummie might be a normal starting point, CBD usually start at 25mg per dose. I'm taking 30-50mg (+/-) capsules 4 times per day. I'm not sure how sustainable that is over time, I guess I'm going to find out. Bottom line, it reduces my pain to a tolerable level, so far.
At least since the 2018 farm act, quality tested CBD flower is readily available in bulk online, so growing it isn't necessary, which is good, because I can't grow anymore.
I hope you're feeling better --
