wb wisewoman. i hope your doctors have managed to get your pain under control by now? if not i was wondering if maybe it might be worth it to approach it from a psychosomatic point of view? could it be body memories or a reaction to emotions of some sort? in that case maybe trying meditation or something might take the edge off? also (and even if it is physical) sometimes something like reflexology or reiki can have a very beneficial effect on pain.
being in pain sucks so much. i hope you find some relief as soon as possible.
good luck and take gentle care
