Abasaki,
(((((((((((hugs))))))))))))
I live with chronic pain everyday too, so I know and understand how hard it can be sometimes.
You mentioned that you are allergic to several pain meds - do you mind if I ask which ones you have tried and what type of reaction you have?
I ask because there was a member of the chronic pain forum a few years ago, and her doctor thought she was allergic to pain meds - but it turns out that she was not allergic to the meds, she was allergic to a filler in the meds and by taking benadryl or claritin with her pain meds, she was able to get relief without allergy.
Another member used to have a stomach reaction to meds and the doctor labeled him as allergic - and again, it was not an allergy but a stomach problem that was able to be treated and then he had no more "allergy" to meds and was able to get relief.
