Pancreatitis pain morphine
Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis pain morphine
pancreatitis
So wondering if it is all connected to the really severe pain I had yesterday. I did take 10mg of morphine for lower cramps that morning, I did have slight pain to upper abdominal then, but it got worse after morphine, although the lower cramps got better.
Thank you for any light shed on this, it is depressing me
Please also note I have been suffering with on and off tummy troubles since I was about 14, I am now 30.
I have been diagnosed now with Pancreatitis and it is painful, Lortab and ofcourse the morphine helped the pain. I am new to this site and hit the wrong area accidentally, i am in the Gastro forum now..
My father was admitted for Gall stones and pancreatitis, once he was admitted the Dr's started administering morphine. Now my dad is having to be is having to be put under sedation do to him being "medically delirious". Dr's have no clue what has caused this complication. The Pancreatitus is now gone. What could be causeung the delusions?
It is a sort of catch 22 - pancreatitis is painful, so you take painkillers, which exacerbate the pancreatitis and cause more pain, and lead to you using more painkillers, ect...I feel in your specific case, I would taper faster. Trust me, you do not want to cause any additional damage to your pancreas, it is VITAL to so many processes in your body, and these problems will catch hup with you eventually.
Here is my suggestion for you:
Vicodin has a half life of about 4 hours.
The doctors believe mine is related to CF, because I also have some lung issues. I was put on a morphine pain pump 2+ years ago. After MANY discussions with my doctors: Pain, GI, Pulmonary and High risk OB, the doctors still were not sure...they said they had never dealt with a pregnancy with someone this severe, but that I could try it and we would find out. I am now 5 months pregnant.
When I was in the hospital there was a pain management doctor that came up and they put me on a morphine pump instead of the 6 mg of morphine they were giving me every 2-4 hours. That worked ok, until I started to throw it up. The GI doctor then decided to try me on 50mg of fentanyl and 5 mg of oxycodone for break through pain. I found that to work great, they sent it home with me on September 6th for a month supply.
aI'm posting this under general gastroenterology instead of Pancreatitis because I don't want something to get missed because of a myopic approach. In 1994, when I was 34 yrs old, I was diagnosed at Duke University Med. with pancreatitis. Pancreatitic and liver enzymes were all above 3000's. Since then I have fought chronic pancreatitis on an almost daily basis. It was considered unknown causes. I don't smoke or drink alcohol or take illicit drugs.
A couple days ago I had an ultrasound on my stomach b/c of some abdominal pain and back pain. I then had a CT scan due to a spot found on my liver..They found a mass on the right lobe of my liver measuring 9.0 x 8.3 in size. The G.I. says that he beleives it is focal nudlar hyperplasia. It is a constant pain right below my rib cage and in my lower back, sometimes through my stomach. I take darvocet for the pain but it doesnt seem to help me through the night.I cant get comfortable.
Through my experience and that of others ive spoken with it is usualy the morphine type pain meds that are more likely to give you trouble. I am hospitalized a couple times a year and years back I was given 1st given dilaudid then morphine and both made it much worse. After many hours of extreme pain I was given meperidine (Demerol) and it worked very well. After I was stabilized I was given a Fentanyl patch(25 mcg/hr) which also worked.
If you do, indeed, have pancreatitis, morphine is the last pain med you should be taking. It can cause spasms that make the pain worse.
You are obviously very ill, and you may just be stuck dealing with your current surgeon. This isn't something that can be treated in an ER setting. All they do is get you stable enough to go home and tell you to see your own doctor. Did the ER call your surgeon?
I am calling the nurses in every 20 minutes because the morphine had worn off and I can’t stand the pain anymore. They up me to Dilauded and the pain starts to get better. In the morning they do a blood test again and my lipase rose to 9000!!! They did a test a couple of hours later to see if there was a lab error and my lipase was in the 6000s. This has never happened with any of my other attacks they always went down over night.
s fine to be in pain for anyone let alone you. NOW have you spoke to a GOOD pain management doctor...I take (also) Cymbalta at 60 Mg and it took some Neuropathy pain away (about 75%) And being we are NOT aware of what's out there, exlain this to a Pain Management team and see what goes...I'm so hurting all the time and still take 80 Mg of codeine to start (Morphine is also a codeine deriritive) And another 30 to 40 Mg after that and sometimes more.
t responding well to the pain killers and they were going to give her a shot of morphine and send her home with painkillers. The vet recommended blood work, about half an hour later the vet came and told me that my dog had stopped breathing and they had to perform CPR and had machines breathing for her. She said my dogs body went into shock from the surgery and she devolved pancreatitis and her heart was going into shock and she didn't think she was going to make it.
pls help i woke up 18 months ago went to get out of bed an something popped in near my scapular left side, i have been in chronic pain since, ive had an mri an ultrasound but nothing shows up, im on constant medication which doesnt work even morphine didnt take the pain away the doctors are not very helpfull so im at my wits end, any suggestions what it could be?
t take any form of narcotic meds because they raise the pressure in the biliary system and cause more pain,
With the ERCP, was manometry done? And was a sphincterotomy done? Were you stented? Any sign of pancreatitis, because pancreatitis can be a side-effect of having an ERCP done.
In general, you need to keep your intake of fat very, very low with any foods you eat.
What did your docs say during this whole thing, and what discharge orders were you given?
Even after two doses of morphine, I could still feel mild pain twisting my stomach. The pain was low and centralized, and when the doctor had a blood test ordered, the only abnormality was elevated lipase. All other numbers were normal. X-ray showed nothing out of the norm, and the doctor thought perhaps it was just a bad tummy bug combined with my c-section scar tissue.
I had my pancreas and spleen removed to help with hereditary pancreatitis pain, well the surgeon felt that I would be on pain meds for life since there was so much damage. But I had the surgery to quit the meds. He gave me the morphine to help the methadone withdrawals. He planned on me tapering off the morphine, but I moved and haven't found a new doc yet, so I am not in a very good position. I should always have a dr, but it is difficult with everything else to do. So that is my story.
I just turned 30yrs old (female) was sick for 6yrs before they figured out what was wrong with me so ive been thru the ringer as far as pain medications etc..I have chronic pancreatitis and had half my pancreas removed less than a year ago.. And still dealing with surgical pain and the continual pain from the pancreatitis.I'm on morphine 2 15mg every 4hrs which worked, well, it worked really good at first now it won't even help make a headache go away!
I had my gallbladder removed in 2010. Put off going to Dr. for 4 days with excrutiating back, rib, and upper abdominal pain, then, Fri. I went to E.R. They said my liver enzymes were very high. My b.p was 95/42, which happens sometimes with me, and at first the ER doctor said Hepatitis. Then he said I had a 3.8mm gallstone in my bile duct and had to get the test where they put the camera down your throat and pull the stone out.
