I always become upset when I see it in print like this, that another is suffering
so much!

I have a thought. Now while this is late in the game ..very late...it is still
worth considering:

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment:

In electrical injuries, new treatment modalities and guidelines are needed for improving clinical outcome and the survival of damaged tissue. Although there is no published study about hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for electrical injury in the literature, it is indicated in conditions, which may contribute to the clinical presentation of electrical injury such as thermal burns, crush injuries, necrotizing soft tissue infections, problematic wounds and compromised skin grafts and flaps. An 11-year-old child with high voltage electrical injury treated with adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen for 90 minutes twice a day at 2,4 ATA for one week, then once a day for six days for a total of 20 sessions was presented to demonstrate the beneficial effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy initiated before irreversible damage had taken place. Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy was initiated rather late, when the most effective window for intervention had already past, HBO was effective in fighting against necrosis, infection and tissue loss. Adjunctive HBO therapy is suggested for electrical injuries for its contribution to healing. In order to see the favourable effects of HBO, it is better to start the treatment within the first 24 hours following injury.

It has been several years since your accident. Have you done anything to try to heal the nerves? Drugs given by doctors do not heal.
One new RX vitamin preparation is Metanx.
Combined with fish oil, you may repair. Since you have feeling..that means the
nerves are not dead, and may heal, but that takes time.

Also do you not say what you have tried... for example...have you tried
Lidoderm patches, or Lidocaine ointments?

Each of us has our own stories and experience with pain. Somewhere here will be something that may help you. (the drug Mexiletine may work for you--it is usually tried in extreme refractory cases).
