A member asked:
I have chronic pain. i was told long ago that i "do not metabolize morphine" and that it "runs right through me". could that be a true statement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That is absurd. Get it evaluated and find out the true cause of the pain. If you have been on opiates awhile you can develop a tolerance to these meds.
