If you suffer from withdrawal when you quit taking a substance, you are addicted to it, period. The psychological/mental addiction is what can be debated, but I'm willing to bet that if you go to the emergency room and beg a doctor for a shot of a narcotic, you probably have that going on too.
I hope you can figure out how to control your pain without becoming addicted and miserable. I have scoliosis and have a a lot of back pain, but it's not bad enough that I'm miserable without opioids. I pretty much just take opioids to get high, so I can't imagine having to take to them for pain with my level of addiction. I hope you get help somewhere and from your doctor. I don't know what else to say. You'll find good support here, I have.
