I believe you need to try a detailed evaluation of your system maybe at a Mayo Clinic. I have been to Rochester, MN and they seemed very effective to me. Everyone has a different system and how there body reacts to things. I have a low tolerance for pain, but I adapt quickly to pain medicine so I need stronger doses. Maybe you just need to try a variety of techniques including non traditional ones such as hypnosis, biofeedback, meditation, etc. A pain management center should put you in touch with all the possibilities. Lately I have had a new pain that started in my neck and has moved into my right shoulder. The doctor used steroids to treat it which worked at first but don't now. I have never had this kind of pain before so I do not know what to do? As long as I can I will keep bugging them (doctors) until we find something. 19lin

You are right I forgot to say if your insurance will cover it. I am sorry I did not put that in my response. I have not tried all of these since I live in a rural area and there are no practitioners in some of these in my area. When I was a therapists I used biofeedback so I have tried it and it does help you get control of your body, but you would have to find someone who uses it and I doubt many insurance companies pay for it. The same for hypnosis and meditation training, but I have heard that they can work in some cases. The point is keep trying and hopefully something will work out. Good luck. 19lin
