Have you tried Feldenkrais therapy? It's non-invasive, and though your pain is severe and neural, often that pain can be triggered by tension in surrounding muscles, tendons, and fascia. It may be worth a try if you can try a reputable practitioner. I'm a physician but completed a four-year Feldenkrais training in 1997 and was impressed with its results for pain. If you'd like to find out more, let me know.
All best to you; I know personally that chronic pain dulls the rest of life.

@spillihped I did the Feldenkrais therapy several years ago and it did nothing to alleviate my pain. I have tried Yoga, Pilates, physical therapy, acupuncture, acupressure and chiropractor as well as every spinal procedure you could imagine and nothing eliminated the pain and now it is in my ribcage and it is so painful. They put me on Voltarin as well as Hydrocodone and now my kidney function dropped from 87 to 4.6 in just three months due to the medication. I have taken myself off the Voltarin and am just trying to take only 1 hydrocodone every couple of days so my kidney function can return to normal. I am praying once the spinal cord stimulator is removed my pain will subside.
