I still think a second medical opinion is worth it. My pain doctor is anti gun and hunting so I don't talk about it around him. If your doctor is one of those, it might be skewing his opinion.
Also it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor about shooting a shotgun from hip height. That's not too near your head and from short distance still accurate. A 20g with 00 buck could still save your bacon. Sorry I couldn't resist that pun.
I wonder if a suppressor would reduce the compressive shock wave enough to let you shoot a rifle again. If so it would be expensive but perhaps doable. I don't know how this would be measured so if it's possible, then others with more experience would have to chime in.
Now that you've let us in on the problem, we can offer you out of the box suggestions...
One last thing. You could invite other hunters from places that don't have pigs to shoot to come help with the problem. I'm too far away but others might not be...
