Demand more testing.  I would not just keep taking pain medication without further investigation for an answer.  

Are you seeing a GI specialist?  Any endoscopies?

your pain meds is only covering up the real cause of the pain I would push for more test or for your Dr to send you to a specialist if he cant figure out the cause I would not just let it be
