Pinkeye, you could still look at pain clinics. They are far better versed in the control of chronic pain than a "regular" doc would be. Breakthrough pain is not necessary, and a good pain control program does not leave the person feeling drugged all the time.
I really feel for you and hope you can get this resolved. It is hard to deal with anything when one is in pain. It is my opinion that talk therpay can also help, esp if your are talking with someone who specialises in pain. It's so important to deal with people who have experience in the area, who understand the psychology as well as the physiology of pain.
Take care.
