I think sometimes, just the act of reaching out, can help the pain. A lot of us have had to have counseling to get where we can accept this is the rest of my life as well as learning other things to help with the pain. For some, accupuncture is a fantastic tool. Massage (Which in your case, may not be too helpful) warm water therapy (read this in the boards at the top), distraction, and all kinds of things. In my case, I just told the doctors (After reading it on this site) that I was in pain and I wanted some *&^% help. That got some help in a hurry. We tried all kinds of things before settling on the SCS.. Good Luck and I will keep you in my thoughts DW
