Welcome to HCM.It would be best to consult a Pain clinic/Pain specialist who can rationalise your drug intake .Continuous intake of morphine orally can reduce the efficacy and cause tolerance to the narcotic.The choice and dosage of drug will need to be decided by one doctor only,preferably a Pain specialist.
