I couldn't take morphine for more than 2 days in a row before my bowels just completely stops working which for Crohn's is obviously not good. I do get really violent headaches with morphine as well which being slow release you have to just grin and bear it for the duration of the time on it, but more often than not the headaches are far more painful that the pain you're taking the morphine for.
I'll give anything a try, just hoping the GP is okay prescribing it as it's not the cheapest form of pain relief going. Though saying that I can't take laxatives (with morphine) with Crohn's so I don't think they'll have much choice. (Hopefully)
