Chronic pain of any kind is not fun. :( I got to experience that when I had shingles in 2008 and resultant nerve damage (post-herpetic neuralgia). I was on narcotics for 8 months and had to physically detox from them under a doctor's care. Fortunately mine went away entirely. You just have to live with yours. :( Knee replacement surgery may well change your life; that's something to look forward to, though! :)
