Hi Amanda,

What a situation. I'm certainly not a doctor but have you tried drugs for neuropathic pain? These are drugs like neurontin and lyrica that try to calm down the activity of thsse damaged, overactive nerves. Anti-depressants can also calm these nerves down as can lidocaine if the nerves are close to the surface. I hope you find something!

After three years I would think its also time to get evaluated by someone else. They've apparently exhausted their bag of tricks by now - ask for an evaluation by a different doctor and see if you can find someone who's very highly regarded. Better yet if you can afford it try to see a doctor outside of your system - so you don't have to worry about ego's being dented. You probably have all the tests - bring them with you to the appointment - and let her/him check them out. The evaluation itself shouldn't be that expensive. Good luck
