I am so sorry to hear of your plight. I wonder - and experts can chime in, if a myelogram would help identify your pain sources. Also, my pain management doctor acted as a physiatrist and diagnosed S-I joint pain that was just horrible and fortunately I responded well to an injection. Also, if you're truly feeling suicidal I hope that you see a psychiatrist and get a good Rx; personally I like Cymbalta which helps w/nerve pain too but there's some good stuff. In short, this utterly sucks but w/technology, it ain't over which is so easy for an outsider to say. My very best - Allan

P.S. I know that this ate your money but I can't help but wonder what Dr. Regan and Dr. Filler in Beverly Hills would say about you/your case.
