I was given Mophine several times last year for pain. In injection form I was given it for pancreatitis and it helped me relax. But in oral form it made absolutely no difference to my SFN whatsoever. In fact I was given it following gallbladder surgery - but was in such pain with my SFN that I barely noticed the pain of the cholecysyectomy site so perhaps it did the job it was intended for at least?

The only drugs that have ever helped relieve my SFN pain in the past have been Amitriptyline, Naproxen and Prednisolone. I was unable to tolerate the first two after three or four years, and steroids are always going to be a mixed blessing.
