Hello Rabhutch19 and thanks for posting, 

I am sorry to learn about this ongoing pain and can understand it is wearing.   

Nerve pain tends not to respond all that well to regular painkillers. Instead medicines which have an effect on nerves, and are more often used to treat epilepsy and depression, are used as they work better.  But it can take time for them to do the job as the starting dose is usually small to begin with and then gradually increased. And there can be some trial and error to get the best choice of these medicines at the right dose to get on top of the pain.  Your GP should know about this so you may already have tried these types of drugs, if not ask about giving them a go, or if you are taking some already, ask if it is ok to increase the dose or about switching to another one. Don't be too stoic and make sure the GP knows this is a burden.

Another option would be to ask for a referral to a pain clinic to get their input. The GP can arrange this but there are probably quite long waits to be seen. 

I hope the GP can help.

If you want to talk anything over please do give us a call on Freephone 0808 800 4040, we are here weekdays 9-5. 

All the best, 

Julia
