Was On Morphine For Degenerative Disc Disease And Chronic Pain. Will I Always Be Narcotic?
Secondary to degenerative disc disease (cervical titanium & donor disc replacements---no more surgery please} I will always suffer from chronic pain; was on morphine 7 years. I no longer want to be on a narcotic. Ultram for a miserable 2 years} is now totally insufficient. I am looking for another stronger opioid agonists. Can you name some I can discuss with my Dr.?
HI Thank for asking to HCM As a Doctor it is my advise to you better not to take any stronger analgesic in form of narcotic or opioid this will cause addiction and then life would more miserable, you are not going to die even if you do not take any pain killer, have nice day.
