Unfortunately, the only way I have been able to keep 24/7 pain tolerable is with Oxycontin and Percocet. I have, in the past, done all the injections with my Pain Management doctor, as well as a trial SCS which did not go well. I am not aware of any type of cure whether SFN or PN.
Many of the meds we take for other conditions can often add to muscle pain. Since starting a new prescription for a dermatitis condition, I have noticed additional muscle pain.
Sorry you have to wait so long to go to Mayo. I am interested in learning what they would suggest.
