What To Do For Pain Relief From Cancer?
My mother in law who is 86, about 80 lbs. has multiple myeloma. She has had radiation for the tumor on her sacrum, she also fractured this area and now has developed a huge bedsore on that spot..she is on 75mg of a pain patch, oral pain, and morphine as needed...she had started on chemo, and she almost died...now she is doing nothing to prolong her life...about 3 weeks ago she was really bad, she called for her sons and the priest and has now been really responsive...bored, as she calls it, and totally with it...we are not sure what to make of this...would you have any answers for us. Thank you..

Your mother can continue tab morphine 10 mg four times daily after food.
If pain still persist then she can try BUVALOR TRANSDERMAL PATCH.It contains Buprenorphine.This works for 7 days continuously and u need to change patch after 7 days.
