Pain med: Have they tried tramadol? It's pretty cheap, effective, does not irritate the stomach, and is not a narcotic. Good luck!

Chronic pain tx: Chronic pain is a condition in which neurological processes have caused the cortical areas in the brain that process pain to become more and more efficient in serving pain despite a lack of need to heed pain signals. Pain no longer becomes useful at that point. The principles of neuroplasticity can be used to help a person in pain overcome pain without medications. See comments below for more.
