I have beaten most of my chronic pain with something called prolotherapy. People probably mention it on this board, but I typically see that people don't take it seriously. Well I can tell you from experience that if it is done by a skilled doctor, it can help A LOT. And its not covering up pain. The pain that it removes is cured. Permanently. Basically, you inject tendons and ligaments with a solution that inflames them, and they shorten, strengthen, and heal. And presto, pain goes away. Tendons and ligaments are actually the source of the vast majority of chronic pain. I researched it thoroughly and wrote a long series on it on my blog. You can read all 5 parts if you want all the gory details. I have had 6 treatments and prolotherapy basically gave me a chance at living again
