You must have a lot of pain if your Dr has prescribed morphine. This drug is usualy addictive only to people who abuse it. If you are taking it for pain, then don't worry. Any other pain killers that could help are anti-inflammatories, but they are often too harsh on the stomach. If it's working stick with the morphine, and when the pain starts to go you could try changing to something like codeine, and gradually reduce the dose until hopefully you don't need it any more.

Good Luck
