"morphine has given me my life back. i was in a bad car accident 12 years ago.  i have plate and screws in my neck. been through therapy, injections, ice, hot packs, deep stimulation, etc, and any drugs, steroids, you can name it i have pretty much been on it. i have a high tolerance to pain and was highly against drugs but due to the chronic pain i gave in. since i declined back surgery, continued working (doing piping, heating, plumbing, taking care of home, etc) regardless of how chronic my pain was, all the medication i had been on only allowed me to function in a some what reasonable manner.  i had to  keep working but once off work i had no social or outside life. i lost my husband 1 month prior to car accident. 

to try and make this long story short, the pain has become so severe a doctor in er gave me iv morphine, toradol and valium..  for the first time in 12 years i was pain free. the doctor suggested that i have my pain clinic doctor prescribe morphine. it has been 1 month now that i have been on morphine and i have to say i am pain free."
