A member asked:
I've been admitted to hospital for severe infection/pain. is 2 mg of iv morphine consider an effective treatment for pain? right to ask for more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain management: Everyone experiences pain a little bit differently. 2 mg of morphine is a good place to start -but u may need more depending on a number of factors. I always describe pain as a 'tidal wave' -u need to be out in front before it's crashing over you-then it's harder to catch up. Docs in hospitals sometimes undermedicate because they need to watch u for symptoms that could indicate worsening. Hold on
