Morphine Sulfate SR and morphine sulfate

When taking morphine sulfate SR for lower back pain, taking urine tests will show traces of methadone. Try explaining you don't to your doctor!

I do get the difficulty in swallowing... not on a regular basis... but at night... as I am falling asleep... I also experience... spikes in appetite and horrible sleeping habits.. but... my main concern is numbness in my hands... I am taking Morphine Sulfate.... 100mg every 12 hours... and 10mg... (for severe spikes in pain) 1-2 every 4 hours, as required. I have stuck to the every 12 hour pill diligently... and I take the 10 mg as required ~ approximately 6-8 every 24 hours.

I have be on several different pain meds the past year or so and approximately 1 week maybe sooner after starting the Morphine I starting experiencing numbness in both hands... It is driving me insane. My Dr. has prescribed arm braces for when I sleep... to keep my wrists straight... Hence... Carpul Tunnel.. Is this Morphine related???

And... is rehab in my future after surgery and recovery... ???

My Daughter is on morphine sulfate. she is 18 and has has RSD for 4 years. She has been on the morphine for 3 months now, but is losing her hair. Dose anyone know if this is a side affect? She is really getting upset over the loss of her hair.

Morphine sulfate causes me to have difficulty swallowing. Instead of being an automatic process, one I normally do without thinking, I have to consciously force the muscles in my mouth and throat to perform the swallowing action. I do not notice other side effects.
