Post Cholysystectomy Pain

For the past 7 years I have had knife twisting pain with occasional burning under the right rib and radiating into the back following an open cholysystectomy. I recently had a subcostal nerve ablation(subcostal nerve was cut) and in the past have had nerve blocks and freezings. I am on a lot of pain medication consisting of Panadeine Forte and Tramal but there are times these don't do a lot. I get about 1-2 hours sleep per night and cannot lay on the left side as everything pulls. I spend 5-6 hours in bed through the day. I am fed up and don't know if I'm ever going to feel normal again. I had my gallbladder out because of painful attacks thinking I would be pain free. Now I have constant pain. Is there anyone out there who knows what I'm talking about?
