If you're not getting the pain relief you need, you should ask your doctor for something stronger or find a doctor who will give it to you. Vicodin is pretty weak as painkillers go and ibuprofen is not a painkiller at all but an anti-inflammatory. If your pain is not caused by inflammation it will do nothing for you. Those kind of conditions would certainly qualify you for medical marijuana in places that have it, and you may not have that option but you can always get non-medical marijuana in any case. For some people and some conditions marijuana can be a better painkiller than opioids or anti-inflammatories. Of course it might not be much use during workdays. Every person and every condition is different. Try different things until you find something that works for you.
For more frequent sex, you could try switching your wife's birth control method. Hormonal birth control is notorious for ruining your sex life. A lower dose of hormones (many pills have a far higher dose than is strictly necessary to prevent ovulation) or something completely non-hormonal like an IUD could increase her interest.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
