Over 6 weeks ago, our son got a bad sprain. We tried athletic therapy, massage therapy, osteopathy for 4 weeks. He had crutches and wasn't able to go outside for recess or lunch at school or be with his friends. He had wanted to have crutches in the past(careful what you wish for). Because of the crutches, he had to use the elevator (a fun thing at first). In hindsight, a broken ankle would've healed faster...
Anyways, we had stopped all therapy after 4 weeks to see what would happen. There was no improvement and a friend/client mentioned something about the possibility of an emotional connection to the injury. As soon as she mentioned it, a light went on in our heads and we took our son to another colleague who addressed many items (this was his 6th week - a Monday). By Thursday his pain went from a 9 to a 3 and by Friday it was 0.
Any chronic pain that doesn't resolve must have a connection to an event. You owe it to yourself to at least check out the possibility.
