Pain Medication Causing More Pain?!

Pain Medication Causing More Pain?

Every couple months I end up in the ER with acute pain that requires IV/IM narcotics. I had a bad reaction to Morphine in the past and can no longer use it. The last time I was in the ER I got Dilaudid. I ended up with the same reaction that I have to Morphine. I got a sudden severe pain in my abdomen and a horrible achy feeling up my neck and down my shoulders, extreme nausea and I was very diapheretic. What causes this? I have tried searching this topic to no avail.

I know what the disease process is that causes my pain, and it is not life-threatening but it does interfere with my quality of life therefore intervention in the form of narcotic analgesics are necessary sometimes. I am a very imformed consumer and know the limitations of health care in my particular area. Urgent care and emergency care are necessary to me due to lack of adaquate primary care physicians in my area.

To that end, I specifically want to know why Dilaudid and Morphine can cause pain that is more severe than the pain it is given for.

it's another reaction.. All of use have diffrent reactions to diffrent drugs.. Next time you go to the ER or the doctors tell them you have an allergy to both Morphine and Dilauden.. There are other things they can give you.. tell them how both meds make you react...
