Tell your dad to tell the doctor he's been in more pain than usual, and that he has been taking more than usual and is concerned. If your dad won't tell the doctor, perhaps you or his gf or ex wife should step in and talk to the doctor about the problem.
The situation is especially dangerous if your dad does not know a lot about the drugs he's taking. Get him to learn! Otherwise he may take too many of one pill that he could take the same amount of another pill. Who knows, but from your post it sounds like this isn't a person who knows what he's doing and does it responsibly, no offense intended. I just hate to see him get hurt when his doctor could probably help him out better than he is doing himself.

Don't feel like an asshole. You are right, you are the kid, not him. He should be more responsible in his drug use, wether it is with illicit drugs or with taking pain medication for a legitimate purpose.
If you can't think of a solution you feel is better, go ahead and call his doctor and tell him your concerns, including the part about him having addiction problems in the past. Hopefully his doc isn't an asshole who would take away his pain meds or anything, and hopefully he will work with you. But just standing on the sidelines watching him ruin himself is not an option. I personally would probably call the doctor.

Jeebus Steve, i'm just back here and couldn't help but notice your post. I don't know what to say man, i realize this is the same father that gave you that TOTally amazing vinyl album collection,when a person is is in PAIN(physical or psychological, it makes no real difference) life can be a LOT easier when viewed/experienced through a HEAVY prisim of downers, painkillers etc....belive me cauz i KNOW(not recently though), i really am not inside your dad's head so it is impossible for me to make any positive suggestions, i really wish i could if only to alleviate YOUR suffering in all of this.......i wish you and your dad all the best Steve, i guess right now that's all i can do take care man
