I would second seeing a different vet, especially if the first one didn't even give you any Metacam for pain relief. He clearly has some painful illness or condition and as suffering. Try googling exotic vets in your region. You might need to travel a little bit further (they know more about hamsters). Or if there aren't any close enough, I find reading info on the web pages helps you get an idea of how good the vets are - reading under individual vet profiles eg. Some say things like they have trained with small animals abroad and are committed to their health and wellbeing etc. Others are just vague. At the very least he should have some pain relief.
