On a side note. I should have mentioned this before. My husband has a pain specialist he sees. The pain specialist manages all his pain and talks with him in detail about any and all discomfort or pain he might have. You could ask your Dr. to refer. you to one or if you don't need a referall set up an appt. with one and have your records sent to the pain specialist.

They are there to help your pain and are trained to understand that people experience pain differently. What might not be too painfull for some, can be excrutiating for others. Dunno if that will help but, might check into that.
