Not fair: Shouldn't your doctor have told you how long you need to stay on pain meds. That said, do you currently have any pain. If so please contact your doctor. If you don't have pain you might not need to stay on meds. Hope that is the best result.

You don't have to: pain meds are too be used only when you are in pain, if there is no pain you do not and should not continue with them..
