Will a primary care physician give additional pain medication?

If the patient has been on NSAIDS for over 10 years and now has developed a heart condition. I have been diagnosed with CHF and I have recently learned of the dangers of taking Naprosyn for long periods of time. So I want to ask my doctor to give additional pain medication, in other words up my dosage. He is currently giving me Percocets to take once daily, but I want to completely eliminate the Naprosyn so i will need additional Percocets. How do I ask without him thinking I’m becoming abusive to the narcotic?
