Try Pain Psychology: Please consider consulting with a psychologist who works with chronic pain. There are many adjunctive treatments using CBT psychotherapy techniques, like meditation, guided imagery, self-hypnosis, and others that can help your wife learn to manage her pain. Meds all have side effects. Best approach is to find a multi-disciplinary chronic pain program with psych component. Good luck!
