So sorry to hear that you are in pain, especially pain that controls your life. I have been in pain for 18 yrs. Continued with life the first 15, last 3 are all consuming, bone crushing pain. Finally found a good pain dr. If you look for pain clinic: there are 3 kinds: (1) has roots in psychiatry, (2) has roots in chiropractic & the one I use (3) has roots in anesthiology. The the last group is most willing to provide medication when all other procedures fail to provide relief. They will try many things before jumping in and giving strong meds. But if all else fails they will not leave you suffering. The bad news: there is no such thing as pain relief, only reduction of pain. You will have to learn many techniques to be able to continue living a full life. Good luck
