@calofmichigan I know exactly what you mean. I tried a therapy last year called Scrambler therapy. It uses electrical impulses to "scramble" pain signals so your brain doesn't perceive them as pain. It was developed by a doctor at Johns Hopkins. Only a 70% success rate and not covered by insurance. Like you said, if I didn't try it I would always wonder. "what if"? When you are in severe, chronic pain, you will try just about anything. That's why there are so many scams out there promising to relieve your pain. Just like vultures.
