Default Should I go to the hospital?

Need advice...................
I have a complex medical history which I am unable to type as I am in so much pain ( hands aching). I'll try to explain.
I have had fibro for many years - aching pain mostly in face, head, upper body. TP injections were a miracle to relieving the pain eventually. Then I had a severe case of meralgia paresthetica. ( pinched nerve in lateral femorl cutaneous nerve which caused severe leg pain ). The MP spread to my central nervous system. Symptoms were severe burning in stomach, chest arms and face. Hospitalized on a morphine pump for a week which (thank Goodess) relieved the burning body pain. So glad a pharmacist clued me in to get in the hospital immediately.
Then I go an epidural which caused chronic severe pain in my lower back and spread to my entire body. TPI helped all body pain except lower back and I am now disabled.
NOW - the aching pain has spread again to my ankles, knees, elbows. MOST importantly the burning pain has spread ( in the past week) to my stomach, chest, face. I am really scared. Still functioning with all pain as I am used to chronic pain. Also, have burning pain in lips, toungue, gums and aching teet from ingesting chloral hydrate several months ago. Have had facial inj. and inside mouth injections which helped at first but not helping lately.
QUESTION - should I go to hospital and get morphine pump?
Scared to death of hospital because I have no veins and can't put IV in hands because of RSD. Any invasive procedure causes more pain for me.
Should I wait it out? Articles I read say you need to knock it out immediately.
Since it it is the weekend that makes a hospital visit even more scarey.
Any thoughts???????
Thanks to all
Sydney
