Pain management takes time and practice. It is not and overnight relief. It is also tough to find a good pain clinic. We have several in MN but the alternative one that I went to no longer exhists. Most just see to collect the money and say you are cured. There support groups for Sj and others for Chronic Pain. They usually do not have any fees and seem to have good success rates. The general principle of a support group is, "Helping you helps me".
I found having someone that you could talk to with similar problems helped me not to feel all alone and isolated. That helped me through the suicide decade. Take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself.
