The pain is getting worse and i only have 20 t3's left...any suggestions on what to do?

Without knowing anything else about you or what your symptoms were before the surgery and how they are different now, I think you should go see your PCP and ask for his assistance by virtue of a script for additional pain meds and (assuming this is not WC) a referral to a neurologist or pain management doc to figure out why you are worse. Your surgeon sounds useless at this point for unknown reason so move on at least so far as pursuing pain control options and further clarification.
A complication would be indicated if you either had worsening pain or inappropriate pain not explainable by anything else, post-surgically. Sounds like you are there. There are numerous reasons for increased post-op pain, some of which are an emergent issue.
