I would request a referral to a pain clinic. You have legitimate pain issues and pain clinics have some awesome ways to control pain that don't always include narcotic medications or greatly reduce your need.

I have a chronic condition that is treated with antidepressants and other meds as I am an addict and narcotics are not an option for me. The pain clinic got me in for chiropractic care, and many other non traditional therapies that have become amazing. I have my life back, and when my condition worsens (it will eventually) I don't have to go for the big guns.

None of this is actual medical advice as I'm not a doctor but pain clinics can be amazing resources, as long as you find the right one (not pill pushers).
