I hopeful the group can add some information on pain management. Because of bad reaction to codeine, my doctor has me using morphine for pain in my back and stomach. I take 30 mg every 12 hours, and have 15 mg pills I can take every 6 hours for severe pain. As long as I stick to this dose I have few side effects. I do take a powder laxative every few days, it seems to help as I balance between constipation and diarrhea but that is also the cancer. My doctor has also mentioned that morphine raises fewer questions with the pharmacy and insurance companies long term. I has wondering about anyone else's experience with morphine. Thanks very much!
