I'd try Dextromethorphan, 60 mg., every eight hours for the pain. Also, cannabinoids might help (Do you live in a Medical Marijuans State?) Also, Lidocaine infusions, 4 mg per Kg, should help. Direct your Neuro to contact Dr. Christine Sang at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. I hope that helps. F
