Hi all. My partner had a hip operation last year and as a result has been in more, constant pain than before she had it done.

Doctors have tried her on cocodamol 30/500, codydramol, Gabapentin and now Pre Gabs. After her xrays, MRI, and Ultrasound scans they have come up with arachniditis (bring on the spider jokes people)! She had an epidural for the op and they think it may be the formation of nerves clustering round scar tissue at the base of her spine. She gets roughly 4 hrs sleep then has to get up to go downstairs, shove a hot water bottle in her back and take more meds. Shes suffering all the time and the waiting between consultations takes forever. They still dont know for sure whats going on but her quality of life is crap! I sometimes give her a Benzo(Mine)!! to get her off to sleep. i was thinking about morphine, just for some respite occasionally, but am not sure about the drug , method of ingestion or dosage. I have a vendor with Morphine sulphate tabs 10mg PR. Is this a good next move?? Any suggestion of any kind would be welcome from this great forum!

Send me a pm and I will share my thoughts and personal experience. 

 
Morphine has been the most consistent pain fighter more me (hydrocodone, oxy) works as well. Soma can help. My issue is completely different so it's different for all. My left shoulder suppresses a nerve system and especially if the pressure drops I can hardly move my left arm without immense pain. I used to was in amateur fighting (tried going pro) but after injuries had to stop. Some Dr don't believe me yet I have no reason to lie. My shoulder pain often surpasses any of the worst pain I had after a serious boxing match (including broken nose, broken jaw and two broken rips and a double splinter break in my hand bone(forgot name) anyways when pressure drops my shoulder feels worse than all that together. 

My quality of life got so low as well, to the point of thinking suicide is an better option. I love live and I work hard , have a good job. Loving wife. Good family. Nothing I'd change, but that damn pain comes and it's like not worth living for. 

Thank God for this forum and helpful people and vendors. The laws have made it nearly impossible to retain the correct medication. 

I'm not a Dr. But every Dr tried putting me on every non opiate possible to help and nothing did more than maybe help 20+30%, which is still low quality of life, I also can't sleep longer than 4 hrs without feeling knife stabs in my back. 

So I took the matter in my own hand, and I 100% recommend you giving her morphine low dosage to try out. It changed my life, thank God for this vendors!! I see seriously think a real opiate could increase her quality of life tremendously. Addiction is always a concern, but not to me, I'm much more concerned with being at a level where I can continue to work hard, support my community and support my family. 

Ps: I'm not a doctor, so don't take any of my advice as serious medical advice. For my own sake, I've been researching it for years. It seems if taking controlled and the right way, there isn't to much body harm from taking it for the rest of our lives. 

Sorry one more ps: some ppl have some adverse effects from morphine, hydro or oxy) I don't, they work best for me. But I had a friend that had been taking morphine for a while and switched to tapentadol (which I do like as well, but I prefer the upper mentioned opiates. Tapentadol doesn't rely on an enzyme some ppl have less of. It is a single molecule that has a dual mechanism of action. To me 100mg tapentadol compares to 20mg oxy. So just as another option. 

Friendliest greetings 

Jiub

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
