Bone Island Question

I have a bone island in my scapoid bone let hand (found on x-ray after twicsting my wrist and being unable to use my hand and was put in plaster for 6 weeks because of a suspected fracture). My consultant diagnosed me from an x-ray.

My question is why am I in agony with it? He said I cannot possibly be (they never hurt) and I must be just suffering from mental illness which I don't understand, but then he looked at my hand and said it looked fractured (swollen, discolouration) checked the x-ray again and nothing there but the bone island and looked mystified. He offered to put me in plaster again but I refused because that was no help last time as my hand kept swelling and the plaster was removed several times over the 6 weeks. He said he could refer me but it was probably just from me not wanting to use it properly (chance would be a fine thing).

I cannot take pain killers (due to severe reactions) and the medication I take for my right elbow problem makes no difference. The only thing that helps is warm water.

I cannot sleep at night and am looking at being forced to resign from my job because I cannot concentrate and do it properly from the pain, i've already had to give up my musical instruments (played for 22 years and now cannot at all). The physio is making the pain worse and although I can move my hand properly it really hurts. I cannot lift anything with it at all. The more I use it the worse it gets (the consultant said this was normal and just to ignore it but I can't). I've been having pain getting worse for two years in it and all I was told was how I was just experiencing growing pains (i'm 28) and there was nothing wrong. I was put in plaster for 6 weeks because of a suspected fracture and still have fracture signs and symptoms but no fracture.

Does anyone know anything about bone islands? Do they hurt, am I just a crazy woman? Any ideas?
