Taylor,
Really sorry to hear about the nerve damage. Extraordinarily sorry, in fact.
I had something of a back injury (also with nerve damage) about 30 years ago in a skiing accident. I went through a course of biofeedback with a great therapist (it is definitely not hypnosis ... I'm difficult to hypnotize, but being resistant to hypnosis doesn't mean you can't benefit from biofeedback).
It has a lot more to do with imagining something so well, that it becomes reality for your body. For me, it was just an extension of the "Game" I played when I was little, so I'd been exercising my imagination for several years, but I have a feeling that you are imaginative enough that you would be a great subject.
It might not keep you from needing medication, but it might reduce the need. Do consider it.
