[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 442563, member: 84"] Hmmm. I've taken so much morphine it's not funny. I even developed an addiction to it at one time which actually had nothing to do with whether I wanted it or not. It's was a doctor order mix up. I was getting a strong dose IV with antinausea medications via the kidney doctor for good reason. When fam doctor stuck her nose in and decided to change it to shot form.......yet no one discontinued the IV one.....which was continuous drip not patient controlled. Fam doctor didn't bother telling ME what she'd done. So when I thought all I was getting was the antinausea medication via shot........I was getting an extra whopping dose of morphine as well. Sad part is even at the ultra high doses it didn't do all that much for the pain levels. Finally a nurse caught it, brought it to kidney docs attention. (after 10 days that way) And when they dropped it down to what it was supposed to be I had the most gawd awful withdrawals. Soon as the 2nd surgery was over I couldn't get off it fast enough. But then I'm always like that to the point my kidney doctor just shakes his head. Kidney pain requires strong pain medications.......so I want them to work when I need the darn things. Shoulders.....percocet and a decent muscle relaxer was enough. Foot, same thing. So yeah, your son shouldn't have received such strong medications. It wasn't really necessary. But evidently I don't have the addictive gene because even after having morphine so much and the time of going through withdrawals I have no desire for it. [/QUOTE]
