I have had JIA since I was very young and am in a similar indictment to you regarding treating pain.
If you are lucky enough to live in a medical state, I highly recommend looking into it. There are strains and concentrates that won't get you "high" but will help with pain (low THC %, high levels of CBD). It's not the same type of relief compared to hydrocodone or oxycodone, which basically makes you forgot/not care you're in pain. I find I sometimes will agitate a flare up on an opiate since I will push myself too far and it hurts worse once the pain meds wear off. With cannabis, you still know the pain is there except it takes the edge off.
If you want to know more or have any questions, I can go on or just send a pm. Hope you are feeling well :).
