Default Pain from sounds and vibrations?

Hello So . . . I recently moved in with my fiancee and his 8 year old son. My foot has always been sensitive to sound and vibrations, if I'm around even semi loud bass I go into a flare, and the vibrations in most cars drive me crazy, I can't be in a car for more then a few minutes without a major increase in pain.

Now with the new house, the 8 year old is constantly running, jumping, stomping, ect . . . . It is driving me absolutly crazy and I've spent the last 3 nights (just moved in Sunday) crying all evening in pain. I know it's unfair to the 8 year old, he's a kid and is going to do all those things, but I don't know that I can handle living there with it. It's a one story house, and it's fairly small, so stuff seems to carry no matter what part of the house I am in. We bought this house, so I can't just up and move without screwing my fiancee. He's tried to tell him son to not stomp and stuff, but it doesn't really help because 10 minutes later he's doing it again.

I don't feel like it's fair to limit what a child can do, but I don't know what else to do. I don't have breakthrough pain meds, so there's currently nothing in my medication regime that I can take to help, I'm on a schedule and am not going to take an extra pill at night and run out early or something. But it just keeps getting worse and worse.

Does anyone have anything they've done - medication or other therapy - that helps with the pains caused by loud sounds and vibrations? I'm totally at a loss about what to do, I feel like I'm now trapped in a situation that is going to be torturous and after 3 days of it I'm already dead tired because I can't sleep from the pain, worn down emotionally, and just don't know what to do.
