There are pain clinics throughout the US (and elsewhere!) where they deal exclusively with pain.
This is necessary because of the laws governing "regluar" docs as to how much pain med they can prescribe. Pain clinics are regulated differently.
These clinics will very often have a psychological component to the treatments.
You could see if there is one in your area you could contact.
I hope you are in some kind of treatment that makes the pain bearable. There are some really good meds out there, and some fine, compassionate pain specialists, if you can find them.
Best of luck with this.
