Are you speaking of fibro pain, or do you have a number of disc and joint issues as well?

Well I take morphine and roxicodone and both meds help until your body get use to the dosages. Then like any other drug you have to talk to your doctor about raising the mgs

I can't take morphine, but when I had to be put in the hospital for my lungs they gave me some, because I almost died, but I was looked after every hour on the hour

Yes Mary, I was on morphine for over a yr because all of the other medications were very addictive and by my mother and father past drug addiction, I refused to stay on Oxicodone and etc. Not saying that morphine is not addictive because it is, just not as addictive. It really did not help me but there is not really any pain meds that I've been on that does help with the pain. The spinal stimulator moves around so that would have to be adjusted every couple of years. Everyone has a different experience.
