If your levels of pain are that high it might be worth seeking out a second opinion. It's a bit of a worry that no other options have been suggested. That is quite a lot of pain relief you're taking, and the codeine is a worry because it can be addictive, and people can develop rebound pain when they try to come off it which makes stopping it even harder. Even if the 2nd dr can't do any different they might be able to advise on a more effective pain regimen for you.
FWIW I've had a complicated wisdom tooth extraction done in the chair without sedation or ga, twice. It wasn't pleasant but it wasn't awful either, there was no pain involved at all.
