From what I understand about your condition, it is extremely painful! I am so sorry - my heart goes out to you. I certainly know what it is like to try and live a normal life when a part of your body just won't stop hurting!!
The one suggestion I will make is that you see a Pain Specialist. my guess is that you are going to need the expertise of a Pain specialist to assist you in coming up with a pain medication regiment that gets you more comfortable because once the pain management is worked out for you, you will be able to get some normality back in your life because I sense a certain amount of frustration!
Also listen to some relaxing music and drift because I also sense anxiety - it really does help a person to relax..
all the best to you..
