Constant pain after hygienist

I have constant pain since visiting a hygienist this time last year. It hurts on the back of my lower front teeth at the gum line. It is especially bad when :
1. I eat spicy food
2. I eat anything with vinegar
3. I am exercising
4. I touch this area with a toothbrush

I have had xrays and they say pulps are regressed and there are pulp stones in these teeth, but no treatment is necessary? Some dental trauma to one of the teeth, but again no treatment proposed. Have visited periodontiset endodontist, general dentist, maxillofacial surgeon. Taking painkillers from the doctor instead but they wear off and pain comes back.

Any advice?

Although nothing is obvious, the sensitivity might be due to enamel loss on your teeth. Enamel loss on your teeth, exposes the dentin layer, which is prone to sensitivity. The reason why it might be more obvious after your visit to the hygienist, is that she might have cleaned off a layer of calculus, which covered the tooth, providing some relief to the sensitivity. This calculus layer had to be removed unfortunately, otherwise you sit with a host of other issues.
Best option would be to use a sensitivity toothpaste like Sensodyne. Rub it on the teeth after brushing and leave it on. It won't take it away completely, but should make it manageable. You can brush with it as well.
