I think it would be a good idea to get a second opinion, and work with another PM specialist. Something is going on that you're having such pain, and you want to get to the bottom of it. When you do get the second opinion, be sure to explain that you're not just seeking drugs; you want to find a resolution, and if none can be found, you want help managing the pain. I think sometimes we can become so afraid of not getting help that we actually "feel more pain." I'm not saying it's true in your case, but our body reacts to our fear. See what the second doctor says and go from there. Keep us posted.
