Someone i know has that and he takes pain meds everyday and is finally on disability. He will have it the rest of his life. He is thinking about getting the pain blocker surgery. Your supposed to have a pain specialist. You will unfortunatly have it the rest of your life. You already tryed the one surgery which the person i know won't get it because his doctors say it usually does not work. Now i guess you have to find ways to manage the pain.
