Confused trigeminal neuropathic pain- help please!

Hi- I'm Janet from Tennessee - Health HXL
1) LL molar extraction in 2003 - I felt intense, severe pain when my tooth was "pulled"
2) late 2003 - X-ray of L mandible showed small FX
3) osteomyelitis of LL mandible with ABX almost one year, including IV X 6 wks
4) 45 TX in hyperbaric chamber in 2004
5) debridement of LL mandible to clear up debris from osteomyelitis
6) shingles (herpes zoster) on the 5th branch of the trigeminal nerve in 2004 - severe "suicide" pain
6) Botox therapy along the 5th branch trigeminal nerve in 2005 and 2006 (failure)
6) chiropractic TX, massage therapy, accupuncture therapy (failure)
7) In sept 2006 Dr Lee at Cleveland Clinic did an "endoscopic neurectory" of the affected nerve branch (failure)

Please help!
