Long term opiate use - problems?

Posted by bigsy67vag @bigsy67vag, Aug 24 4:41am

I have been taking morphine for chronic pain for 27 years. First as a morphine bupivicane mix delivered via an intrathecal pump (for around 16 years) then MST and currently taking 230mg daily in two doses.
Can I have post operative analgesia on top of this? (potential hip op pending), and what things should I be aware of for long term opiate use?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

@deirdrer it sounds like you’re on top of the situation at least at the moment. I’m glad you made it to retirement still in work and seem to have a very positive attitude like myself. I hope this situation continues for us both. Best wishes.
