Wow Merrill we do sound like twins. Because my stomach also hurts worse at night. The only long term pain med I have been on is Sufental and it's in my bachoflen pump. I have been very lucky and have not had to take lot's of pain meds orally. I am thin and so my stomach doesn't like to take much of any med's without getting all upset. I was in ER 5 times from January 20th till Feb 28th. I'm so tired of pain already and now when stomach doesn't hurt my back hurt's. I'm on dycline now. Sorry i misspell all med's.lol Yah something is going on it just can't be nothing.

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 sayI 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
