How long does pain last after lung lobe removal surgery?

I had my left lower lobe in my lung removed due to NCLC 4 weeks ago. I didn't expect the pain to last this long or be so disabling. My primary won't reorder pain meds. My sleep is pretty disrupted. What is the recovery timeline? Anyone else experiencing pain after surgery?
