I have been through just about every thing you've listed plus been tested for MS and thought it might be RSD. Been told I'm crazy by the best doctors. I'm 53.
Have to agree on seeing a pain specialist. That's who finally figured out that, besides a couple of bulging discs, stenosis and degenerative disc disease, I probably have fibro.
Because of back issues I was put on opiods but am being weaned off them and put on Cymbalta. Pain specialist said some think opiods can make you hurt worse if you have fibro. Also am on neurontin (doesn't seem to help me much) and skelaxin.
Besides the pain I have a very hard time focusing as well as sleeping. I ended up shutting down my own successful business because I just couldn't do it anymore. Haven't worked in over two years. Even I wouldn't hire me.
I would love to get massages as I think that would help like dmom says.
Sorry you've had to go through so much. It sure does not help that there isn't a special test they could give us. Good luck to you.
