Have you cosidered either biofeedback treatment or hypnosis for pain
anaesthesia?

No.

Both methods are non-invasive, present no risks, and if
done by suitably trained people, can be quite effective with a fairly
wide range of pain problems. You can verify this for yourself through
a Google search for references.

I'll look into it. but I have doubts due to the cause of the pain.

Do you think surgery is painless?

Of course not.

Some people are able to put
themselves into a relaxed state for surgery through hypnosis, such
that they don't need anaesthetics. I think Bruce already mentioned
this.

Assuming I had surgery, the goal would be that it would remove the casue of
the pain. Not having nerves rubbing against the vertabra should solve the
problem. While I'm certainly open to anything that can reduce or illiminate
the pain, I have some difficulty in accepting that that type of nerve pain
could be handled with biofeedback.
