What is the doc doing about the pain and treatment? I am just thinking as most of these issues are caused by inflammation... and rest is also essential (and in some cases physio)... or did the doc just throw you to the curb?
Thing is that pain is more easily managed if you are constantly on pain meds rather then just take them if you feel you need it (ie pain). In general, you should take so that pain does not occur at all... its an easy thing to say, but I know it is sooo hard. Sometimes the meds they give you are just not enough... it could also be the wrong kind of meds for the type of pain you have. I would not say Endone would be a great alternative, but then again, I dont know what you have been trying so far. High dose Naproxen (esomeprazole) or another new type of tablet that just came out for pain is called Zaldar and is a tramadol-paracetamol combo might do the trick...
I would say that Princess Fiona is giving some great advice here, ask to be referred to a pain specialist...
