After years of back pain and no relief from PT programs and a lot of other meds, I found a great pain doctor who got me relatively out of pain. I can now work and function most of the time pain free. Now the medical community is becoming fearful of DEA and other authorities who are interfering because of abusers. If these people are successful in removing these types of drugs I will be on disab...

My Dr switched me from Methadone to Morphine and it is not as effective nor as long lasting as the Methadone was. The half life or Morphine is 4 hours and after 8 I start feeling withdrawal symptoms. I am taking extended release tablets. If not for the Oxycodone for breakthrough pain I wouldnt be able to handle just the Morphine. Of course I am taking it for pain but now I feel like pain is se...

i switched from fentanyl patches down to morphine ER. thought my pain would get worse but my dr gave me an equivalent dose and its working great for me and my pain only downside is taking it on a schedule because as the 1st one wears off i get pain and have to wait for the new pill to get relief .

Crushed ankle in motor vehicle accident = pins and fused ankle joint but feels like a sprained ankle and at its worst sprained but with a hammer wacking it. Deep dull aches and the little tngle which is nothing. Morphine ER really helps at 200mg + daily, dont need anything else bar laxitives and vitamins D and Calcium as opiates will leach minerals. Testosterone fine as very active. My authorizing Doctor retired and am now finding it impossible for anyone to continue, seems odd as it worked for so long with no increase needed, it just works! [For me] - it seems when I see a new pain specialist they are more concerned with chekcing me for needle marks and saying they only authorize small amounts as theres no proof more works and people are dying due to people selling their meds etc... Sorry?... I believe more people die in Australia from sugar related diseases than prescription ER Morphine. Lets get it right and treat people with some dignity - also I am not responsible for what others do so should not have to bear the guilt nor side effects of their actions!Read More Read Less

I take SR Kapanol 100mg BD and find it has the least unwanted side effects and hsa improved my functionality 10fold, also without it I am in so much pain I just want to sit and do nothing. My quality of life is so much better and have taken it at this level with no increase for 15+ years. I have yearly bone density scans and 6 monthly testosterone checks and find keeping active keeps both of these in check. Also I take 90mg Senna extract with the medication to keep my bowels going + fruit and a balanced diet. However = I am now in the position of changing authorising specialist, who is so concerned over people selling the drugs, and despite my experience believes I am having hyperanalgesia that I doubt they'll let me stay on it as hes starting to decrease the dose. Now I am experiencing more pain, to which he says has nothing to do with the medication and is hyperalgesia. It seems my personal experience, regular blood screening and upbeat lively attitude and love of lif e[thanks to the medication] means nothing. Where will this madness end!Read More Read Less

After a M/C accident in which all my left ribs were broken and some were subsequently "plated". Nonetheless, I was left with chronic neuropathic pain. Went to a pain management clinic, tried multiple treatments without sucess. Cound not function. Fortunatly, my primary care physician prescribed ER Morphine. While not pain free, I can now function and be productive. Without Morphine, I would probably never get out of bed.

I have chronic back pain in lower part of my back due to a dgrenerated disc. I was on methadone medicine. It seems to help but the dr didnt like the EKG results. They put me on morphine and I did not like this at all. I started with a severe migraine, dry/cotton mouth, feeling drugged/groggy, couldnt remember conversations I had, was tired all the time, meaning all I wanted to do was sleep. I have 2 daughters that I need to take care of and cant with these types of side effects!!!!

i have severe nerve damage from full to partial thickness burns. i spent 3 year taking hydro percs and opana for the pai with varying degrees of help. after becoming more addicted than dependant i begged for a way off of the pills. i tried a dr that rxd suboxone as he said it would help chronic pain as well. what a joke!!!! 2 years later he dropped me from treatment because he lost my therapy records and now my ins wont pay for it. i found a new dr that has me on 15mg ms contin 2x daily and 15 mg ir 2x for breakthrough. just started yesterday but last night was first time in 4 years i slept through the night! plus havnt felt the need for a dose yet today! there are many risks with this and all pain meds but there are risks just walking out the door everyday too. take it as perscribed and talk to your dr and be honest above all else. i feel good for the first time in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Read More Read Less

medication is very good when taken as prescribed. Does have all the associated side effects; constipation etc; one large issue is that after several years have been moving up on dosage now on 3 times what I started with. This is a very good companion medicine with naproxen and oxycodone.Have read many comments here- the old adage is true if this makes you dizzy or high then you do not need and should get a different lower dose pain reliver.

I was skeptical at first but tried the Morphine SUL 12 tabs. They help me to function on a daily basis. My only downfall is the stigma that comes with the medical profession in Wasilla AK. No doctor wants to see you for general health needs. I was actually denied a visit to a doctor for a physical because I was on pain management. When I mentioned morphine the scheduler freaked out. Hmm I do not get it, other than the Feds or some organization is pushing doctors to get rid of everyone to make sure they get a few abusers. Concerned. So it works, but I cannot get a health practitioner to treat me for annual physicals, etc becuase I am under pain management care.Read More Read Less

Sciatica, lower back arthritis, pinched nerve, & degenerative disk disease led up to me taking this. It was the only way I was able to walk because the pain was soooo BAD. Coupled with norco & motrin, pain level went from 10 to 4. I had back surgery a month ago so the dr is going to try to taper down dosage to 15mg versus 30mg. Hopefully after healing from surgery I will not need it. Overall, it does work wonders!!

I have massive osteoarthritis and after a complete shoulder replacement and complete hip replacement, not as successful, I have decided to bear the pain. My hip surgery broke off a piece of femur, which is now in the muscle. My other shoulder is going and both knees have been gone since the early 80s. In addition, I have degenerative scoliosis. At 70, I would just like to find some relief and continue on.

Oxycodone, Neurontin and Avinza are the three pain med's that I take for spinal cord damage. If they work at all, it appears to be minimal. I have had 14 surgeries to correct my pain issues and none have been effective.

I had an accident that crushed my spine like and accordion and i went thru 5 surgeries so i could walk. The breaking up of discs finally reached my neck and now i have more problems. I can't even explain the level pain i have endured with the nerve being severed to my legs. It took 3 doctors to finally give me some relief by prescribing morphine at max strength.I had even tried oxycontin and it didn't do what morphine does,it works. It has slowed me down but the pain can now be tolerated. This has been a life saver.Read More Read Less
