There are several other options you can consider for treatment. I had been on high doses of pain meds which weren't doing much. Learning some stress management techniques has helped me very much. I have also used acupuncture. The regimen which is working best for me right now is a combination of relaxation and medication. I use some hypnosis pain management audios from the hypnosis network two times each day. These are very relaxing and have helped me a lot. If you are not feeling that medicine is working you should definitely talk to your doctor about other options.
