Hi Shelly the others have said what i was going to suggest and more.I am on the long acting morphine and it does work pretty well for the bad back pain. I know you don't have insurance so it is limited as to what you can afford. They do have spinal cord stimulators and as someone else said implantable pain pumps. Are you getting insurance any time soon? You do need to get to a good pain management doctor as there are other things they try, perhaps a fentanyl patch.
I am so sorry about all you have gone through and wish there was something i could offer.
