I apologise for the comment if it made you feel insulted, that was not my intention.
We understand that you're probably in a lot of pain, but without telling us the extent of your treatment history, theres not a lot we can recomend.
Psychosurgery is drastic, exhausting all medication possabilities is your first best bet.
Like has been noted above, it is reserved for the absolute end of the line for many reasons. Other forms of surgery just as VNS and DBS are preferable as a they don't destroy brain tissue.
Its not an exact science, so they could wipe out everything but the part of the brain that is causing your problems.
