Suggest greater emphasis on structured weaning off of morphine sulfate concomitantly with the initiation of anti-depressant medication therapy during that transition time with Total Hip Replacement. | M | 61 | 14 days 2-4 mg 3X day | 9/5/2013 | 2 | I was Run over by a Dump Truck | M | 44 | 3.5 days 60 2X day | 8/21/2013 | 4 | Lower lumbar pain due to RA | I feel overwhelming heaviness like someone is holding me down!

Complete rupture of thigh tendon of left knee and a left shoulder replacement. | M | 73 | 3 years 15 mg 3X day | 10/15/2012 | 1 | Pain reliever after surgery | I was given this after kidney stone surgery. I had an allergic reaction at the injection site. (I was given it intravenously). Rash and swelling at injection site, ears ringing, tightness in back of neck. | The nurse immediately noticed the reaction and then gave me Benadryl (intravenously). The rash disappeared after a short while. The swelling, however, took a few hours to disappear. Fentanyl, by the way, has caused no problems in me. | M | 50 | 1 days Unsure 1X day | 10/2/2012 | 4 | failed spine surgery | It depends on how much you take. (see comments) | I resisted going on morphine, but years of anti-inflammatory medication, Tylenol with codeine 3, and Vicodin for nerve pain caused severe acid reflux and a bleeding ulcer. The ulcer healed after a few months of medication, but I will have the reflux for life. I was put on morphine on the theory that I could take less of it to get the same effect. I have been on morphine for seven years. At first I took only 1/4 tablet a few times a week for flares; and it would put me OUT. My spine steadily worsened; I am now on a maintenance dose of 15 mg ER/2X day. I would have no life at all without morphine and a very limited life with it. I have had some extremely severe flares of pain from my spine and trigeminal nerve pain, during which I doubled the dose I was taking and still had severe pain. I went back down to my maintenance dose as soon as possible. At 15 mg/2X day, I have no significant side effects. I have some concentration problems at times, but I have that with severe pain as well. I drink lots of water and eat a high fiber diet; and that keeps things moving. At double this dose, I have dry mouth, constant thirst, loss of taste, loss of appetite, constipation, cognitive problems, and apathy. So my feeling about morphine is that it can be a good solution, depending on your situation and how much you take. I am definitely acclimated or addicted, whatever you want to call it. But once you have a certain level of pain, it's not as though there's a choice. | F | 67 | 7 years 15 mg 2X day | 9/24/2012 | 2 | I have herniated disks | no side effects at all | I am in horrible pain and my doctor gave me these because the lortabs were not working anymore. I took it and nothing happened,no relief at all from my back pain. | M | 51 | 1 days 30 2X day | 8/10/2012 | 4 | Deg. Bone Disease, Fractured Lumbar | Itching, Headache, Sleep Disturbance, Constipation, Loss of appetite, Irritabilty, Felt ill a couple times (nausea) | My pain management Dr Prescribed me Morphine 15mg Release tablet 1 twice a day. The main problem I have had was the Itching. It keeps me up & driving me insane. I have gotten irritable also. It has helped with some of the pain in my back but not all of it. I have degenaritve (sc) Bone disease, Fractured my L-spine, 3 bulging disks, really bad scoliosis, all but the last was caused by an flipping a ATV down a beach, Except for the bone disease which runs in family. I am a kidney dialysis pt & have a lot of pain from hollowed bones, old breaks so. Opposed to what the dr wanted to give me (methadone low dosages) I have to rate this a 4 I am satisfied but some pain still there. Hopefully when I start my Cortisol injections I wont have to be on as much. I really cant stand the itching! I don't remember Morphine itching like this when I was in hospital for 6 months. Thats why I agreed to it. Didn't think itching this bad would be an issue. Oh well I'm hoping it subside a little after taking it a little longer | F | 32 | 1 weeks 15 mg ER 1X O | 6/10/2012 | 5 | ATN/TN/ON & Fusion/Discectomy/Lamin | 30 MG .tid or 45 MG .bid - PRN (I generally don't do either. I usually take 60 MG once a day...twice if extreme pain is present) Severe constipation. Aporoximately 8 out of 10 times, it takes the edge off my pain for: • bilateral Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia (ATN) (Dx'd 1995 but had since 1986) • bilateral Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) (Dx'd 1995 but had since 1986) • Occipital Neuralgia (ON) (Dx'd 10-10-2011 after bilateral Gamma Knife Radiosurgery - GKR). • L4-L5 & L5-S1 Fusion, Discectomy, & Laminectomy (Dx'd 2008). Overall: 25 years of Severe Chronic Pain | F | 42 | 2 years 90 MG | 5/9/2012 | 4 | lumbar herniated disks/fibromyalgia | Severe constipation, itchy skin, dehydration, mild headaches and sometimes nausea. | The doctor actually gave me the option to take up to 2 - 15mg morphine sulfate IR every 4 hours. The most I have taken is 1 every 4 hrs. It does relieves my pain. I have severe back pain, cervical and lumbar. The lumbar pains shoots down both of my legs and sometimes is unbearable. The pain does not go away but it is relieved somewhat. I am not taking even half of what my doctor prescribed due to fear of addiction. Even though I dont get any high from it. I can function better with it than without the morphine. I am an active person and always have been. But I have had 2 cancers on my hip, total hip replacement and chemo and radiation. I tried so many pain medications but the only one that has given me pain relief is the morphine. | F | 58 | 5 months 15mg 3X day | 4/23/2012 | 4 | Spinal Stenosis, Degen Disc Disease | Sleep interference, dosage doesn't always control pain | Difficult to get rest if taking enough to control the pain. | M | 60 | 4 years 30MG 3X day | 4/23/2012 | 5 | fibromyalgia | Dehydration and constipation, loss of appetite, nausea, bad dreams | Very clear that this is an 8-hour drug for me, not 12 hour. Worked slowly from 15mg each dose to current 90, where I have been for a month with virtually no breakthrough pain. I do not have the craving that Oxycodone by itself left me with, and if I need to take oxycodone for rare breakthrough pain there is still no craving and no euphoria. NO mania of the kind that I had on Lyrica for 3 years before it went sour altogether. The side-effects are unpleasant, and the stigma is difficult psychologically, but after two decades of trying 44 medications as well as alternative treatment I am finally in no pain. Now for the rest of the symptoms, which are much more noticeable now that I'm no longer in pain. | F | 65 | 2 months 90 MG 3X day | 2/13/2012 | 1 | broken back | my mom is still in so much pain she cant stand it. | F | 74 | 2 weeks 15 mg. | 2/6/2012 | 4 | Spondylolisthesis, ddd neck&midback | Gas, slight headache, occasional constipation. Itching & rash under collarbones(scratching), slight sleep problems. BUT I WAS on 5-30 mg ocycodone & ms contin got rid of that horrible oxy pull on body & mind on when is next dose. I've had 1dose increase from 15 mg-30 2-day,& each time it feels like I won't ever need the oxy for BT, but within a week it starts up. If I increase again , gonna ask doc to write norco or sonething less addictive than what oxy puts you through. Doc is new after clinic shut down & wants me off both, & a transfer to methadone, which I just cannot rationalize. Current Combo is working good but not perfect! I've noticed after 4-5days of taking all meds, body wants a break & I can almost make it through day without realizing I've had no ms contin or oxy, until complete spine pounds thru my ears ! Can any1honestly admit methadone has been a good long term choice for them? I have to keep up "appearances"@ job,& I gave read too much about methadone profuse swearing. I gas it when I was only on oxy 30's.but since MScontin,sweats are rare. Also has destroyed thoughts of sex! | M | 48 | 10 months 30mg 2-day | 11/23/2011 | 5 | Multilevel posterior lumbar fusion | After surgery I was taking 30mg 3x daily until end of second month when I cut back to 30mg 2x daily. I recently (at month 5, week ago) cut back to 15mg 2x daily. Still using stool softeners and laxatives. Very important to drink lots (more than normal) of water to keep the body hydrated. | M | 48 | 155 days 30 3X day | 10/13/2011 Patient History |
