Hi Daesin,
My Philosophical Beliefs are complex and meditation is just a part of my pain management regimen. With the spinal injuries, total Neurological Hypersensitivity, Allodynia, referred pain from my neck to my arms, Trigeminal Parathesia, etc I am bouncing around a 10 on a pain scale of 1-10. Add in Chronic TN AND Chronic Cluster Headaches and I'm up to 12-15.
I RELY on my Pain Management Team, and the meds they provide. The most effective I have mentioned often elsewhere - Lidocaine Infusions every 4 weeks and oral Ketamine 4 times a day. Ketamine and Phenytoin Infusions are also available. These 2 treatments (combined with opiates) take my pain down to 6-7 and are literal life savers.
Meditation helps me cope with the pain and Depression, and clears and strengthens my mind.
I hope this gives you options to discuss with your Doctor.

Dave.
