@geezer43 I am 76 with pain from disc herniations and disc degeneration with recent nerve ablation partly helping. I have been taking morphine at night and early morning. During the day I have a regular regime of Tylenol. My husband drives instead of me as my knee joints are wrecked and seize up later waking me in night. I feel shut in and wonder if I drive would any morphine in my bloodstream be risking problems or am I just over cautious.

@msmcecelia unfortunately just sensible. If there were a crash the morphine in your system could be a major legal problem. Please be safe and careful.

@ msmcecelia I also use Morphine twice daily and drive. Driving is fine for me. Everyone is individual though - you could do practice drives at quiet times in your neighborhood.
Have a better year in 2026!
