A Bit Unclear..: As a first step, i advise you to speak directly with your prescribing md about your persistent pain. He/she may wish to refer you to a pain specialist, supporting you by connecting you with people who deal exclusively with chronic pain issues. It can be frustrating for surgeons or other non-chronic pain management mds to focus exclusively on the kind of problem you describe. Be bold..It's ok!
