Nothing seems to work. I recently tried narcotics to deal with the pain. It seems to help but DR. Worry about addiction. When the quality of life is this poor and in pain what diference does an addiction make? I am at the point I don't want to live like this any more.

Doctors are so worried about "addiction", versus tolerance. Believe me if not for Oxycontin and MSIR(morphine) I would have killed myself from the intense pain daily for the last 14 years. You may need to find a pain specialist if your doctor is worried about giving you narcotic's. See, in Med school, they gloss over narcotic's and it is usually presented as a "bad" treatment, But they only one who can say if it helps you is YOU! Be assertive, I had tried every thing possible, Neurontin, Lyrica, Ultram Vicodin, Motrin, anti-depressants(Elavil, Effexor, Paxil Buspar, etc)
and none seem to help. When I was hospitalized for un-contolled pain, an anethestisist suggested Opiod Therapy, and wow, I have more of a life now. It is like someone gave me the old me back. I still have bad days, but nothing like the past. God Bless my doctor for helping me, without him I would be six feet under by now. He took a leap of faith and it worked. So be persistant and ask for it. Research it and you will see that it may the only treatment for you, if nothing else had worked. Good luck!!
