Angry Today My Doctor Said he Was Lost

Just came from my primary care doctor, he said he was at a loss and could do no more for me other than refer me to pain management, I told him that I did not want to live on pain meds the rest of my life, three years now I have had burning pins and needles and sharp stabbing in both feet and hands, gets worse at night and during hot weather. I was diagnosed with hemachromatosis a year ago and undergo frequent phlebotomies to control iron levels, Nerve conduction and emg were negative, RA factor neg, blood sugar normal, red cell consistently 17 to 19, heavy metals negative, I have about run out of options but do not want to live on pain meds, has anyone else experienced similar problems and what can be done for neuropathies of this sort. any advice would be appreciated.
