According to Dr. Tennant in his
Intractable Pain Patient’s Handbook for Survival, the first step is to get the pain under control, then identify and tackle the source(s).

Each reply to this plea I've sent out is like a piece of a PIE of 'logic'....and if I put them all together, I think there's an answer in there to be had.

Likewise, Dr. Tennant's approach is analogized as a patchwork quilt. (I'm extrapolating a bit here). Lots of good advice/strategy in that book. I find myself reviewing it often when things get bad or change. YMMV.
