I need help for chronic pain?

I broke my hip about a year and a half ago. There are 4 screws in my hip which backed out some and cause me constant pain. To make things worse, I tore my ACL about 6 months later and had two surgeries on that. Sometimes it's my hip that hurts; other times it's my knee, and sometimes I can't tell because my entire leg aches. The doctors will not give me anything for pain. I've tried everything from cymbalta to active release therapy but it just always hurts. I can't sleep. I can't concentrate at work. I've seen a second doctor who treated me like I was just looking for a buzz. When I was taking pain medicine I never felt like I was getting addicted. It seems like a doctor could monitor that and make decisions based on whether or not I showed signs of being addicted. Should I look for another doctor. I don't feel like I should have to beg for relief or apologize for being in pain. I deal with it as best as I can but am getting to a point where I'm finding it harder to keep dealing with being in pain all the time. Any advice would be appreciated.
