Chronic Pain
"I had a spinal stroke 8 months ago, spinal cord infarction, that has left me in a wheelchair, and around the clock pain. I begin taking Ms Contin in December, 15mg 2x a day, along with Tramadol, Lyrica, and Percocet  10/325.  I was able to cut way back on the Percocet and Tramadol once I begin the morphine, and have been able to continue so until the middle of March.  My pain is not responding as well since my tolerance has obviously increased.  I have talked to my doctor about this and am going to go up to 30mg twice daily beginning in April.  Morphine has allowed me to pretty much cut out two pain medications while providing a more consistent pain relief."
