I fell down in feb 2011 and I really messed up my back. I have had x-rays, bone scan and an MRI, the bone scan showed that there is an increased uptake in the l5 vertabrea on the left side and scoliosis in the right side of the l5. According to the pain specialist that I have been to see, I have a mild case of arthritis probably due to a slight fracture from when I fell that was not picked up on the original x-ray. I have been taking percoset since feb, and my doctor is now telling me that I am too dependent on the percoset and that I am too depressed and has prescribed me m-eslon 15mg morphine sulfate. My problem is that I am not depressed, just in pain everyday and I wanted to know if my doctor is providing me with the right medications because a lot of people have told me that the morphine pills are much stronger and more addictive than the percoset. Is this right?
