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!
