I admire your strength and determination in this battle you face!
This is very inspiring to read!

Just wanted to mention (since I noticed you can't take much medication)....have you had any success with pain patches? If you are able to stay above the pain with what you've shared, then oh how great that is!
BUT, if your pain becomes intolerable, you could check in to getting Duragesic patches (Fentanyl) - the med is distributed thru your bloodstream and not your digestive track.
They aren't for everyone and there has been negative stigma about them, but I for one have to say that they have saved me from going out of my mind.
Just thought I'd throw this out there, in case you hadn't considered this route.

Also, Epsom Salts has been very beneficial.....

Please keep us updated!
