WHAT ELSE CAN I DO ABOUT CHRONIC INCISIONAL PAIN?!

I am recuperating from yet another complication with my rny dated 2005 Sept. This time it was ventral hernia repair secondary to bowel obstruction. That was two months ago. I dont understand why I feel a constant hot burning pain to my incisional line on a daily basis. My surgeon has cut me off my narcotics. ES Tylenol works for about two hours only if I take 1500-2000mg at one time. Ibuprofen-type meds make me nauseated. I have tried heating pads and hot tub soaks which makes the area feel tingly and sensitive to the heat. Anyone been in this predicament? I am so tired of suffering daily!!!
