Have Chronic Pain, Tried Pregabalin, No Relief. Is There Any Other Medication?

I have chronic pain and my doctor has tried me on all the regular meds. dr.C. Tothgave me nabilone which didnot work in controlling the pain either. My doctor decided to try pregabalin again. Is there something else that I can try? The pain is very severe most of the time and it restricts what I do.
