Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Common side effects of morphine are Cramps, difficulty having a bowel movement (stool), drowsiness, false or unusual sense of well-being, relaxed and calm feeling, sleepiness or unusual drowsiness and weight loss.

Joint pain and headache are uncommon side effects. You should inform your treating doctor about that. Generally side effects does not last long.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
