HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You may want to consider seeing a doctor from a pain management clinic since there is no improvement in your pain despite using he percocet, naproxen and ibuprofen.

A different opiate and NSAID (medications such as naproxen, ibuprofen) may work better for you.
A pain management clinician may be adjust medications for you.

Physiotherapy may also be helpful as well

I hope this helps
