However, I am becoming tolerant to my pain medication, and I am afraid to ask for something stronger because I don't want to lose my doc and be labeled a drug seeker, thus cutting me off from pain management.
Generally PM docs understand and expect that you will become tolerant.
Don't ask him for something stronger, just tell him what you are taking doesn't seem to be working as well and what do you need to do.
He might switch you to a long acting with something for breakthrough.
