How long did you take pain meds after surgery?

I (F 30yo) was diagnosed with cervical myelopathy December 19 2024. My spinal cord was being compressed at C3-4 C4-5 C5-6. I just had surgery 1/20/2025 adding discs and a plate. In the hospital( I stayed for 2 days) I was on a regimen that included Oxycodone and Morphine. Being sent home I was prescribed Oxycodone 5mg-every 4 hours, Valium 5mg- every 8 hours, Pantoprazole 40mg-1 a day, Tylenol 650mgx2 twice a day. It hasn't t even been a full 2 weeks since my surgery and a few close family members are encouraging me to start weaning off the pain medication. I have good and bad days but my pain level is still a pretty consistent 6-8 and some days it's almost unbearable easily at a level 10 pain. I was told by the surgeons assistant Nurse to incorporate Ibuprofen 600mg to see if that would help bring the pain down when it gets that bad. Am I wrong for not wanting/not feeling ready to stop the pain medication. Just curious how long others that had a similar surgery were on their pain management medication.
