It was interesting to hear you say the incidence of addiction is low for real cronic pain issues. My Pain specialist is not very worried about me being addicted to a low dose of Morphine. He has given me infusions also for my cerivical spine. However I am terrified of the stuff. I do not abuse anything, but I worry about my future. I have degenerative disk disease, in many areas of my spine. I didn't really have a choice with taking this drug, or my quality of life would be caputs. Should I be worried about the future with this medication? I have dropped from a huge dose before my last spinal fussion to 30 x 2 day. I am one year post op, and I want to go down to 45mgs. this coming Jan. Pain is tolerable right now. It is the long term I am worried about. I want to be able to have some good parts to my life, as this is only one of several degenerative, and autoimmune disease I have. ginnie
