I don't know if it's so much the pain getting worse, or tolerance of pain going down. But yeah, I'm with you on that.
There's a lot of research out there that says it's the pain pills being a disastrously poor long term pain management tool.

Patients develop a tolerance and need more and more of an incredibly addictive substance, and if they ever come off, most patients report an increase in base level pain. Losty, I'd imagine your sleep issues are a direct result of these pain pills, I'd talk to your doctor.
I was speaking more to my experience with opiate free pain management, but yeah there's that.
