I know "Pain Management" sounds like a scapegoat to some people, however, I have seen some really great things come as a result of a family member having gone through a spine and nerve health and pain issue, so I wonder if you've given it a go yet? I have to admit I wasn't very open-minded myself when it came to the appointment for my relative as I really was hoping for more in the way of answers, however, trusting the process has bode well for him so I wonder if there may be some help and relief in story for you if you explore that route?

Have you considered another hospital for a third opinion?
