What Causes Swelling And Pain In Nipple Post Usage Of Morphine For Pain Management?
My name is Gary O Neil and I am a 51 year old male who had total hip replacement surgery on March 23. I was taking morphine at night to control subsequent knee pain so that I could sleep. I now have swelling and pain beneath my right nipple. Could this be a side effect of taking morphine each night or should I be concerned about possible male breast cancer?

Hi,
No, morphine does not have any relation to this breast pain. But you need to see a doctor for clinical examination as it may be a breast abscess.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
