post-surgery pain

I had surgery for pelvic adhesions May 27 and have no more digestive problems, which is wonderful. For a few weeks I had no pain but, as I'd been warned, it then returned although is not as bad as it was before. What should I expect for the future? I am taking codeine when needed as I can't take aspirin products and the tylenol-type doesn't make a dent. I imagine I'll return to surgery only if more digestive problems occur. Is this what my future holds? I have several friends with cancer so I'm not distraught; I just want to know what to expect and thought some of you "experts" might be able to advise me. Thanks so much.
