                        Sandy,  The strongest pain med that I know of for chronic pain is Morphine.  There are others , as well, Demerol ,  Methadone , as well as other pain meds.  I take both MSContin( time released   Morphine) and IRMorphine( instant release)along with a few other meds , for my disease , RSD ( Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy). Please see a pain Dr , and hopefully the Dr will prescribe something to make your pain  more bearable . You have a RIGHT as a patient , to be kept out of pain , as   much as possible !!! And there are meds out there to help.   Good luck to you. :-}  hugs,  Catherine
