"i am on 2 100mg morphine sulfate er tablets daily. i have been on this for about 2&frac12; years now. it does work well for my pain (blow disc and sciatica in lower back, and severe ra), but i am very concerned about a side effect that i am having.
my teeth are breaking apart. i had a great set of teeth before i started taking the morphine. now, after just a little over two years, i have lost 2 molars completely and have 3 molars that are broken and falling apart. my teeth are also starting to stain badly, no matter how much i brush them. my molars are constantly causing me a lot of pain.
after researching a bit here online, i now realize that it is the morphine causing my teeth to just break and fall apart. any help please???"
