Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The swelling of feet has got no relation with Morphine. It might be due to something else. Get a renal function test done to rule out any kidney related conditions as it can cause edema. Also make sure that your blood pressure level is very well controlled because long standing hypertension can cause pedal edema. If swelling persist for long, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
