My mother is in horrendous pain. She used to be prescribed Methadone for her pain but due to the opioid epidemic, her doctor took her off of it and switched her to Morphine ER (15mg) and Oxycodone (10mg).
Even when she's just in a normal amount of pain, her meds hardly touch her pain and now she's really sick and is in so much pain, she literally can't stand up or walk without assistance.
I was wondering if it would be possible for her to take her meds under her tongue so that it'll kick in faster and therefore be provided with more pain relief than taking them via oral ROA.
I know the Morphine is ER but simply breaking it in half breaks the time release.
Thank you so much for your help in advance. I can't stand seeing her in this much pain and I can't think of what else to do to help her.
