Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 Hi Everyone, Thanks for that article on cancer pain Becky.....I have a neighbor who claims he has found a Doctor that gives him the time-released morphine for his neuropathic pain. He said this Doctor is great and is very compassionate.....I was surprised when he told me this because I did not think you could get that powerful a medication unless you had cancer and there was nothing else they could do but keep you as comfortable as possible. I personally would be leary of this even though at times I could just scream......as I have been what they call over medicated and I just don't want to get that way again unless of course I am dying and there is no hope. I do have a lot of trouble with my neck but alot in part due from my surgeries.....sometimes it feels like its just not going to hold my head on..LOL!! And yes my forearms get very tired especially when holding or carrying something for very long I get cramps something awful and then it goes into my figers and they want to draw up and curl up on me. Its true about the pain though as far as I am concerned if a person needs it for the nerve pain they should give them something that is really going to help them so they are not suffering constantly.....but it is so easy to become dependent when the pain is unbearable that I think sometimes the medication could be just as much of a hazard as maybe trying other forms of pain management.....but again this all depends on the indidividual. Enough of my rambling...Everyone have a Blessed Easter!!! Cathy CSCluv** http://community.webtv.net/cat926/CATHYSCOOLCATCORNER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And think about this, is our pain going to just go away some day? If one has to live in pain whats the harm of becoming dependent on the medication to help relieve that pain? Which is worse? Living in pain and suffering til death? Or living w/o pain and suffering til death? Or ending ones life due to the unrelenting pain and suffering due to lack of pain relief? >Becky M.
