Do you really think all those narcotic addicts avoid taking marijuana at the same time as the heroin?
The drugs do not interact severely. They can be taken at the same time but then you won't know if the marijuana by itself does significant pain relief. Certainly the narcotic effects do not last 24 hrs. One could hold off the narcotics or drastically lower the dose and 1) see if the pain returns and 2) if it does see if another drug including marijuana can do anything for the pain.
