Hello,
Morphine is a prescription drug and you won’t get it from the pharmacy directly.
The problems associated with morphine is that it might cause addiction and drug dependency.
You can opt for alternative methods like a steroid injection to the spine also.
Consult a neurologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
