i know what it's like to be in 24/7 pain. and i've come close to feeling like you do.

i walked into my local rehab hosp one day and asked if they had any pain drs. they said yes so i got a referral from my neuro. he was so nice. he believed me too. he rx'd some different meds until one worked better than the others.
it is a narcotic but i don't abuse it so it works when i need it to.

i also did some different PT things.

don't give up. i know how pain saps your energy and then you have trouble sleeping which doesn't help. keep demanding help from your neuro and/or pcp.
treating pain is a standard of care. they have to respond.

i'm so rooting for you. keep in touch with us.
