Postop pain : Find out why you're hurting with a thorough workup by a spine surgeon comfortable dealing with complex problems. If a treatable cause is not identified, consider a pain stimulator. Pain pump as a next line option. I relegated to chronic narcotics, talk to your pharmacist about alternatives on your insurance. Methadone is generally cheap.

Suggest Wean Off: At the dose you are now, you are considered opiate non-responsive and therefore should wean off or consider other pain medicines or alternatives. If you stay on medicine, you will only need to go up from here not down, which will inevitably put you at risk for opiate side effects and risk of making your pain worse, opiate induced hyperalgesia. See a real fellowship trained pain/spine specialist.
