Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Hi , I can't take morphine either, and make sure your sister always puts she is allergic to it. Strong doses of the stuff can totally stop your breathing. They could try dilaudid, it may help the pain better anyway. You did say she is having a bone scan right? Are they doing a cat scan if they can't do the MRI ? You do know they have open MRI machines now, that aren't closed up. I had one done, it was so much easier. You might check into that. They need to get to the bottom of what is wrong, because that kind of pain don't just happen for no reason. I will keep you and your sister in my prayers. Please take care and let me know, how things are going okay? love, Lu .. they > admitted her and > gave her morphine. well after hours and hours it > eased the pain. the > problem is she almost stopped breathing and then > almost went into a > coma.
