Default Help w/ Pain meds

I have been on a myriad of pain meds after breaking my neck in an accident which amongst other things caused severe TBI. I am in constant pain and need some help from my fellow folks who've suffered the same thing.

I was on Fentanyl for 2 years until it just stopped working. Now, my doc, who's a surgeon & is well respected for dealing with such trauma. My med list includes the following

Fentanyl 2 years, Oxycontin (which, in my opinion is worthless), Dialaudid (works great but VERY short acting), and a host of other meds which I can't remember now.

The only thing I have not tried is Morphine. I understand the pills are basically worthless & the way to go is the pump. Any feedback on this would be great!!!

Can I get some advice on that. I don't want to go into my surgeons office demanding meds. He think I'm just trying to get one over on him and will loose all respect for me.

How do you all suggest I deal with it? What is next after Oxycontin & Fentanyl?

Thanks for your help

Joe
