My sister in law suffered from debilitating chronic pain in her shoulders, spine and hips following having both viral and meningococcal meningitis . She developed sepsis and luckily survived this but it left her with arthritis and brittle bones.
When all he pain meds became ineffective she was prescribed with morphine pads which helped to begin with but the pain killing effects eventually stopped and at that point she was told that she would """"JUST""" have to live with the pain.
I remember that she was helped by a Pain Management programme, although at first her GP did seemed reluctant to refer her. I do remember that one of the things they advised was that "Distraction" could lessen the pain and she found audio books helped her at night when the pain was at its worst. She also joined the Scope Forum which was a great source of information and support.
I wish there was something I could do to help you sweetie. Maybe these links may help.
