Hello Dave... sounds like you have had a huge challenge!
Is your incision healed? If so you might want to try Lidoderm patches. Have you tried them yet?
They can relieve nerve pain locally and spare you the side effects from drugs. But I wouldn't put them over a open sore or
unhealed surgical incision.
