Chronic Pain: I would see a specialist that deals with chronic pain. It is difficult to say who this would be exactly. What you need is an evaluator that will look at your husband as a person with back pain and not a back pain patient with a person attached. This means expanding the search for the cause outside the back. This could be a primary care physician, rheumatologist, physiatrist, pain doctor.

Cognitive-behavioral: Cbt or cognitive behavioral therapy is the most likely therapy to help someone with a normal MRI and severe back pain, especially if Botox and various pain medications have not helped.
