The body develops a tolerance to pain meds, I have chronic pain from arthritis, the interesting thing my dr discovered was my vitamin d levels were at panic low levels.  By implementing the supplement the severe body pain all over that felt like burning has lessened greatly and I have been able to reduce the amount of pain medicine I take, so maybe you could discuss with your dr.   just add the level check to your normal blood work.
