I Have Recently Started Using Oxycontin 20mg ER Twice A

I have recently started using Oxycontin 20mg ER twice a day from Chronic Liver Cancer Pain and Hypertension Portal ??? with my abdomin (Vericose Veins and Swelling). My diet is so strict I eat hard boiled eggs, Ensure Protein Drinks, Gatorade on a daily basis. My Symptoms and pain got so much worse from my Debtace Procedures back to back within 4 weeks (Aug 13 and Sept. 9 2015) I am 49 years old Male. My Blood Pressure was taken yesterday 167 over 90 and I had taken my Medicine 3 hours before but was still in alot of pain from my Abdomin area. I never have an appetite unless I can get my pain med with my 25mg Phenogrin and 8mg Zofran to work together and then I get so hungry I hurt myself eating more than I can handle. I feel like I need more pain medicine but am afraid of it being habit forming. Regardless, I don't want to be misreble either, I've already put myself through that last year for a few months and I am convinced it was unnecessary suffering. I also don't have Health Insurance but am scheduled for a SS Disability Hearing March 1 of this year. I know it can potentially take up to 3 months or more for them to make a decision. I just don't want to be miserable. I am fortunate enough to have Purdue Financial Assistance Program to pay for my pain meds for now. What are my alternatives for pain management? I would like to already have enough information about what I can do until I can get Health Insurance for my Stomach issues and my Liver Transplant. By the way, Emory in Atlanta Georgia is who is Treating me for my liver cancer.
