@mimi0000 I am so sorry to hear that you are in severe pain. The advice to get a referral to a pain clinic is a good one. You should be followed by a good neurologist.
I think the attitudes about pain control some MDs exhibit may be a function of whichever state you live in and how rigid it's laws are regarding narcotics and dangerous drugs. Some states have gone to central reporting and dispensing pharmacies are required to alert the authorities if / when they see dangerous trends in prescribers or patients prescription activities.
Some states do have exceptions for certain types of pain. I don't know if you would qualify for a program like that. I believe they are called Intractable Pain statutes.
If you don't have a philosophical bias against it, I wonder if you live in a "medical marijuana" state. That could be helpful.
Have you tried prescription muscle relaxants along with the Tylenol? There are also some anti-convulsant drugs such as Dilantin, Tegretol, Neurontin and Topamax which are used in the treatment of chronic pain. They are definitely worth a shot. Ask your MD.
I cannot vouch for these myself but some therapies target an area in the spine called the dorsal root ganglion. Some stimulate the area and there is another that involves precise radiofrequency pulses to create a small scar that will remove the sensation of pain.

I have personally had epidural steroid injections for chronic back and hip pain. My first experience helped a little but I still did not reach a level of comfort that would allow me to resume normal activities. I had repeat injections and it amplified the relief to the point that I was able to control residual pain with OTC drugs.
Good luck! My prayers are with you and I hope this helps! (The other Mimi)
