Hi bonnerzzz,
First we'd like to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know how happy we are that you have found us!! I'm so very sorry for all of the pain that you are continually having to put up with. It's so terrible when you can't find an anw=swer for the CP (Chronic Pain) that you are having to endure.
Sometimes it takes many years and many specialists and the same tests repeated numerous times to be able to come up with a Diagnosis. Have you ever considered going to a Teaching Hospital or a major Research Clinic to try to see if they will be able to come up with a diagnosis as they are set up to deal with these types of unknown illnesses.
Jamie and Sara, both as usual, gave you some excellent suggestions for getting some help and relief.
We hope that you will be an active member and contribute to the other posts with the experiences that you have had over the years in adjusting to the CP that you have had to endure for the past few years.
I hope that we can help you to find some answers and that you will keep us updated as you work towards finding a diagnosis.....Sherry
So sorry. That does sound miserable. Jamie's suggestion is very good. You do need some pain relief at the very least. You might try one of other communities as well. There is a Urology forum here:

There is also an Undiagnosed Symptom forum:

I hope you find some relief soon.
Sorry you have been having so much pain for so long. Is there another dr that you can go see to see if there is anything else that can be done? Do you have a family dr? I would look into seeing a different dr to see what other things can be done and checked. Maybe they can send you to a specialist that deals with pain so you don't have to suffer anymore.
Best of luck to you,
Jamie
