Don't you get any regular treatment for it at all Simcha?
I guess the options are limited. Amitriptyline is often used but it interacts with sotalol. I believe you've already tried gabapentin and Lyrica.
I'm not a fan of Toradol, by the way. It has similar efficacy to most NSAIDs (at an adequate dose) but its toxicity is remarkably high in comparison. Toradol (either injection or tablets) can ulcerate the stomach very quickly. It can also cause renal impairment. Definitely one of the least safe NSAIDs ever marketed!
You have my sympathy too, although I guess my sympathy doesn't help too much.
