Any advice

Suffered with extreme pain in hand up to elbow. Attempted nerve op as we weren't sure if nerve was just trapped (all investigations were inconclusive). Now have what feels like a cheese grater in my elbow and extreme pain in hand. I've been on lots of medications and nothing seems to work :(
