hi
The pain you are having is due to degenerative disc change and the fibromyalgia. morphine is a very good painkiller and the pain should relieve with that but if not you can also try antidepressants like amitryptilline which have good painkilling effecting by block the neurotransmitters. talk to your GP about steroids as they have got very good anti inflammatory effects
Thanks
regards
