Living with intense PAIN!!!?

I live in constant, intense pain, every day! I have: 90-degree Scoliosis, Spinal Stenosis (so extensive, docs are shocked I’m not paralyzed!), and multiple Cancers (starting when I was just 8 months-old!). I’ve been thru almost every type of pain management out there: massage, acupuncture, spa therapy, stretching exersizes, muscle relaxers, relaxation techniques, meditation, heat pad, pain clinics, pain medications, and am at the limitations of what my doctor will prescribe. Hope is gone, and I’m seriously thinking about sucide at this point. (Which is hard for me, because of my faith. But when pain consumes your body, IT is in control! I don’t live my life, I survive it! You don’t get by day-by-day, but minute-by-minute!!) I’m tired of suffering like this, and am so desperate I’m researching “out there” pain control methods I’m hearing about, such as: snake venom, cone snail toxin, and hypnosis. ANYone hear about these? Anyone have any helpful suggestions for me?! Please, help me!!!

HypBirth, natural birth without pain relief??

I am really hoping to be able to give birth without an epidural and if possible, any other medical pain relief. This is my first pregnancy so I have no frame of reference of my own… I just don’t like the idea of the epidural and the possible side effects – also it increases the chances of needing an episiotomy, another thing I really want to avoid if possible. Again, I was reading that natural tears generally heal easier and faster.

I was reading about HypBirth – where you do relaxation exercises that reduce the pain felt during labour. Anyone given birth using any hypnosis techniques? Any opinions on giving birth without pain relief please?

Question about Non-drug pain management?

I’m a nursing student and I have been searching about Non-drug pain management. What nurses can do for non-drug pain therapy. I would like to know detail and example of Hypnosis, Biofeedback, Guided Imagery, breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, and magic glove or blanket. How I can use these intervention. My text book mention little about these. However, I cannot know how I can use these in hospital. Thus, could anyone tell me example of how nurses use these for patients please? Also, which non-drug pain management are used most and which one is most effective?

I have seen every specialist in the health care system, tried more kinds of pain medications than I can count. I exercise. Have had xrays, MRI’s, CT Scans, and lab tests done. Have tried Chiropractic care, TENS unit, massage, heat, ice, accupuncture, reflexology, relaxation techniques, vitamins, natural medications sold in health food stores, hypnosis, and prayer. I am only 51 y/o and have no quality of life. This is not where I saw myself being at my age. The dozens of doctors I’ve seen over the years either don’t care enough to get to the root of the problem – or don’t want to take the time necessary to get to the root of the problem because my insurance is an HMO, and we all know they don’t pay the doctors as much as they feel they are worth. At my wit’s end! Is there anyone out there who knows how to get me beyond this degree of pain? There will be no more doctors or tests for me, so I’m reaching out to my fellow human beings. Help me please!
