Constipation: Why on Morphine? Is it necessary, like for cancer pain? If possible, decrease the dose until off the morphine. If not, try magnesium citrate and or fleets enemas. Any narcotic medication has the unfortunate side effect of constipation. If constipated off morphine, check TSH & calcuim level. Hydrate with water, exercise. Eat more fiber daily. Try Metamucil. Prunes. Take miralax (polyethylene glycol) daily for now.

Narcotic induced: If you took morphine , it is very likely it could have contributed to your symptoms. If possible, try to minimize your morphine consumption.
