Dear Lord --- what are your options now? Have they thought of sending you to a pain management doctor? There, the doctor can better manage your pain. He may have some other ideas about what to do too.
I know what you're going thru too, cause I've been a chronic painer for over 25 years and I "look" normal too. I've had severe spinal problems since I was 36 but you can't SEE it.  People wonder why I don't work too -- well, sorry but I CAN'T.  I can't sit more than 10 minutes, and I can't stand more than 5mn. I doubt I can find a job where you can lay down (no, I don't want THAT kind of job.  ). LOL
So I was forced to go on SSDisability. I HATED to -- I feel like a slug. I'd much rather be working -- I enjoyed working with people. I was an Optician by trade, and had a ball. Oh well.. Now I'm 63. It's been a long, painful darn road. I'm inoperable so there's nothing they can do for me.
So i sure understand where you're coming from. Don't pay ANY attention to those idiots who make the rude, insensitive comments -- including your sister, who should know better! I hope to blazes SHE never has to experience anything like this, and has someone say something like that to HER, but what goes around comes around. 
You'll be in my prayers -- things always change, so it won't be like this forever. God bless and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee
