But sounds like "morphine" is one of the few or only pain medication that works on "more" pain receptors that the others dont.

The only thing I have to double check on is I am limited on what I can take in the way of medication because of my kidney disease. I just need to make sure that it is safe to take and that there are no health risks for me.

I'll keep you posted.
