Confused Best doctor/therapist to start with?

I am not ready for surgery, but would like other assistance. What's the best place to turn next?

Before being diagnosed I saw 2 chiros who did not help - in fact one made things worse.
I have seen a vascular surgeon who did tests but did not offer help.
Primary care who was not that knowledgable about my symptoms and referred me to spine specialist.
Saw spine specialist, who prescribed gabapentin and PT. After 3 mo on PT, said PT probably wouldn't help and there was nothing more he could suggest beyond meds.
PT is maybe helping? Not sure and will probably stop soon. I still have symptoms.

Now, I don't know what to do. Would you recommend I see a different spine specialist? Another Vascular surgeon? Massage? Chrio specializing in Active Release? Naturapath?

Thank you.
