Hi,
I have been fortunate. Yes, horrible chronic torso nerve pain, Gabapentin helps but I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it without a pain program I went through. May I suggest asking your doctor about any pain program they might suggest? Mine was through Kaiser. It has been very helpful. Stress classes have helped me as well.
Keep focusing on healing when ever you can. Take a look for jon kabat zinn.

@strength, I noticed that you wished to post a URL to mindful meditation classes that helped you along with your post. You will be able to add URLs to your posts in a few days. There is a brief period where new members can't post links. We do this to deter spammers and keep the community safe. Please allow me to post it for you.
