I took Morphine for a year. I tried both the tablets and the liquid. They just switched me to Methadone Hydrochloride tablets. The Methadone works better and it lasts a long time.

Hello. May I jump in and ask if anyone using opiods for pain...is complexed over whether or not it helps pain or, as Drs say, creates more pain? I've been using Norco (hydrocdone) 5mg 2 years for full body burning, cramping, numbness, aching and sharp pains. Thanks for weighing in.

My opioid pain medication removes the pain so I can sleep or sit. If I try walking around I will feel pain in my feet. If I keep walking the pain eventually will be more than the pain medication handle. I started out using no pain medication. When I could not longer sleep I took Hydrocodone. The pain got worse and I had to take more pain medication. So, did the pain increase on its own, did my body get used to the pain medication and I needed more or did the opioids make my pain worse? (rhetorical question) My neurologist said at the very beginning that my neuropathy would only get worse over time. Either way I have needed stronger pain medication over the last 4 years.

Thank you @fredjan2016 for sharing your observation of hydro. Its a confusing mess and for me, psychological warfare. I shouldn't put myself through it but, always trying to do what's right. Drs and even Mayo preach to get off opiods and find holistic ways of helping. Well, in my opinion, holistic takes me just so far. Maybe it's time to explore new pain relief options as hydrocodone gives me 1-2 hours of take the edge off relief and I fight through til the next dose is allowed. Idk...maybe this is normal for most meds.

My neurologist and pain specialist both said that Neuropathy gets worse and that's why we have to keep increasing the meds. The nervous system is dying, starting at the tip ends of the nerves (in the feet) and working it's way up, eventually to the main trunk lines. Neither meds or anything else can make it die faster or slower. Ah well, we all die of something some day, cancer is worse, copd is much worse, stroke is worse, and thank our lucky stars that we don't have leprosy ... Peggy

I've been taking morphine sulfate contin orally for sfn pain for more than 5 years. It helps take the edge off the pain.
