I write books on the use of hypnosis - I wouldn't recommend it, it's a long route of many sessions to use it effectively for pain relief. However, I may have something better, I was in pain for years with Fibro, really to a point where I was having to constantly fight against it using whatever methods I could. Plenty worked to reduce the pain, nothing to get rid of it - until I changed my diet. I found coming off dairy (and wheat too, though this may not be necessary for you) helped reduce 'attacks' within two days, now I hardly get bouts of it at all, maybe once or twice a year if I cheat with dairy-type foods. Well worth experimenting to see if it will work for you too.

Beware though, dairy is in just about everything (usually in the form of Lactic Acid, Lactose, Lactase, Whey powder, etc.) to make it thicker and creamier, so getting it out of your diet entirely takes a lot of label-reading. You can't cut it out in half-measures,it just won't work. Cold turkey or nothing. But the relief!!
