Wow, it sounds like you've tried some pretty gnarly stuff there with no luck... what kind of back pain is it, might i ask? Because, opiods aren't very effective for nerve pain.
Also, i saw someone mention Toradol. Have you tried using an opioid with a high-potency NSAID like Toradol? Also, adding a neuroleptic to an opioid can work sometimes, i've not only worked in an emergency department and seen some people get morphine with no relief, and then get demerol added to that and still no relief, and then get Toradol, and still no relief until they got Inapsine or Haldol... but i also have my own experience with some pretty darned bad headaches, to tell me that morphine dunt always do it, i need Toradol and Phenergan (a weak neuroleptic but strong antihistamine)... of course, it totally incapacitates me, i sleep for 14-16 hours after that, but i don't know how much the incapacitation is due to *just* drugs or if i sleep so long because of the migraine as well.
