                        Have you ever tried a anti-seisure medication.  My aunt had nerve damaged and scar tissue damage from a back operation and tried the anti-seisure medication.  It reduced the pain considerably.  Also try a good pain management doctor.  You may have to try serveral before you find one you like, but do not settle.    Good Luck!
