Default Severe nerve pain after ALIF

It is 6am and I have been up since 3. I am only getting a couple of hours of sleep because my right leg has been having nerve pain. It is more painful than before surgery. Did anyone have this pain during recovery? The surgeon doesn't seem to concerned because x-ray looked good. He mentioned that maybe some nerves are sensitive around my bladder, because I told him it gets real bad when I am trying to urinate. I guess he didn't understand that I am hurting before this and it makes it worse when I am standing at the pot. The nurse mentioned maybe trying an LEI to help. I have been trying Aleve on top of my other meds (oxycodone, soma, neurontin). Seems to work, then it stops after some time. It says only two at first, then you can't exceed that for 8-12 hrs. Not more than 3 in 24hrs. Hell, this stuff wears off in about 4!
