I have freezing shots in my head almost weekly. I am also on hydromorphone contin and plain hydromorphone round the clock. I take magnesium for nerve pain and I also take a sleeping pill nightly so I can rest. All of this is via my pain specialist. I was also asked to stop working. My ON is very bad-the are working on seeing if an implant would work for me, but the red tape is endless.
Sometimes it helps to put a large gel icepack in my pillowcase and lie on it. I also take torridol when the pain goes off the charts.
Seeing and being assessed by a pain specialist is the best thing you can do-they will help you figure it out and help you manage your pain.
