Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pain After Gallbladder And Partial Liver Removal

I had a symtomatic hemangioma on my liver for 20 yrs (documented). Fam dr insisted nothing to be done, no one would help and same for the rest of my life. Local ER pressured fam dr to refer (liver surgeon). He agreed i was a symtomatic minority. 55% of my liver was removed and unscheduled gallbladder. After surgery (liver) leakage demanded chest tube and 3 ab drains. I am still in considerable muscular pain, off work and confused. Surgeon and fam dr want to close this case. It has been 2.5 months post surgery. No one will prescribe pain meds. Fam dr saying get another dr . I am exasperated i can t bounce back. How long will muscular pain take to be resolved without pain meds and no other sources of rehab? Pain is lower abs not near any scar tissues. My job is heavy duty and i am afraid i will have to depend on welfare and leave my job because of this situation.
