Suggest Treatment For Spinal Cord Injury

I am a T 11-T12 vertebral fracture with a resultant T 11 ASIA C spinal cord injury motor complete paraplegia. S/P T 9-L3 posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation and 7 months out. I have normal pain all of the time on a scale of 1-10 my normal is about a 4-5 on its lowest and a 8-10 highest. My pain is very constant and I have been tested for infection and I had a CAT scan and they said all looks good as of what they can see, so all that they do is put me on pain medication and I am tired of being on all of these medications and I feel like this is a much more serious issue. What do you think?
