This is as if I wrote it. My diagnosis is that long term morphine use has slowed my stomach activity causing terrible stomach pain. Worst is within an hour after lying down at night. I can be fine in the chair until I lie down or drink while lying down. Anything except morphine & water! I know that in approximately ½ hour after going to bed that my bladder is most active, the first 4 hours is HORRABLE PAIN. Pain might travel but is mostly in upper abdomen. Last month I went to hospital via 911 for dehydration an awful burping when pain was present. I searched in Google morphine, stomach, and pain. Might be something to this but I think something is going on.

Does anyone here have IBS or Gastritis? I was diagnosed with both because have had serious adominal pain the last 3 months. The GI doc went in and said stomach was doing fine, and of course said there was nothing wrong with stomach. But did say I had IBS & Gastritis and that I would just kind of learn to deal with stomach pain that comes along with it. Of course he put me on a new med which seems to help. I just can't imagine that my stomach is going to hurt like this from now on. I just want to know if anyone has this and if this pain is forever. Sometimes I think these doc's just pawn the problem on another doc. Cause right away he said for me to go to pain mgmt doc. As if i want to be on darn pain meds that too me doesn't solve every problem. Veranda
