I'm dealing with calcific tendonopathy and I have a doc who gets excited to write me up prescriptions.
At the hospital, they gave me 5, 10 mg morphine pills and they worked a treat. Really took the edge off the pain. The only issue was they pretty much only last for about 2 or 3 hours, you're supposed to take one every four hours according to the package. When the pain is 11 out of 10 it's really tough, but it can be done.
I had to go back because the swelling and pain was out of control, so I went literally just for pain management because my appointment with the doctor is scheduled for the following day, but anyways they gave me 5, 2 mg hydromorphone and I've taken one and it seems kind of shit compared to an OG 10 mg morphine pill. I honestly can't tell how long it lasts because I haven't noticed it doing anything yet.
What do yall think? I'm leaning toward a request for some OG 10's. Unless she'll write me up a script for 10 mg hydros. I fucked myself by being a junkie years past, and now regular doses of "heavy duty" pain killers are like gingerale to an alcoholic to me. It's such a shame that opiates are a dirty word in the medical system. It's legitimately difficult to get a prescription for medication when you actually need it no matter how much pain you're in but I guess I got lucky getting a little bit of a break here.
And I know this is probably too much information, but it just makes me angry that they'll throw up to 60 mg of Dexedrine or Adderall per day at a 13 year old, but the apprehension to prescribe somebody 10 mg or more of a real painkiller, for real pain, is something that they are super sketch about. I don't think there's any statistics out there that exist outlining how many kids who get prescribed ADHD medication become meth addicts later, but I guarantee the number is high. Higher than they would even imagine, but that's another conversation for another thread. All drugs should be legal, the solution is education, not prohibition. But again, too much of my opinion is working it's way onto this inquisitive post.
TLDR;
10 mg morphine
VS
2 mg hydros
Who would you sick fuckin beauties pick, if you had a choice.
