Hi
Anniemack,
We believe you; believe me.
Have you been referred to
Pain Management (PM)? PM can offer many options beginning with those that are least invasive (e.g. physical therapy) progressing to those that are more invasive (procedures involving surgery).
Inversion therapy is an "alternative therapy". There are others, but few are currently accepted by the medical establishment (or covered by insurance). This doesn't mean they shouldn't be tried, but I'd still look into them carefully and talk them over with your doctor so you don't try something that may exacerbate your condition.
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy and
Acupuncture are other alternative therapies that may be worth investigating (with the same caveat).
