Pain normal?

I had a vitrectomy and scleral buckle surgery about 7 weeks ago.  During the first few days I had severe pain and headaches.  There were specific causes for my early problems (eg increased eye pressure) and they were treatable.  Thank goodness some prescription narcotics helped the pain.  Now after 7 weeks, I will still have bouts of pain and very bad headaches.  The surgeon has checked a couple of times, and assures me everything is fine.  I have heard that some people can continue to have pain 3 months post surgery.  Has anyone had pain and/or headaches that last many weeks past surgery?
