Welcome to Neuro talk. I am so sorry your husband has had to endure so much. Cleveland clinic has a very good reputation. However it sounds like more help is needed for him to have some quality of life. Pain can just ruin a person, and it is "so" difficult to live with. Please keep posting here, there may be some people who could help direct you to another facility for evaluation. There is more help than what he is currently recieving. You have to seek it very agressively sometimes, but I believe you can find more help for him. Please Ask Mark56 for some ideas. He has had alot of pain in his life as well, and may be able to offer you some hope and advice. Don't give up. Neruo Talk will be here for you for support. I will keep you and your husband in my prayers, and hope you find a better method to contol that pain. You will find compassion here too, and friends to help you along this most difficult time for both of you. ginnie
