I have several severe back problems which are : Lumbar Spine Degenerative Disease, Spinal Stenosis at 2 levels, Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Scoliosis. I have been prescribed Morpine Liquid and Co codamol 30/500 by the pain consultant who recommended that I take 5 ml of morphine when required and the co codamol 30/500 to take 2 tablets 4 x a day. However the GP has gone against those wishes and I now have to take 1 co codamol 4 x a day and 2 mls of morphine. This is not helping me with the pain control at all. Any ideas much appreciated xxx

I have taken Cocodamol for probably 30 years and it works for me. My prescribed dose is 2 tablets up to 4 times a day but I rarely need any more than 2 doses. I have never experienced any side effects at all. But it does keep my pain from severe osteoarthritis and Post Polio syndrome at a level where I can function and live my life as I want.

I only take these when my pain levels are really bad. They do take the edge of the pain but can make me a bit incoherent

I feel Co-codamol isn’t any use and the only reason I’m taking them is because I am definately addicted. I’ve mentioned these concerns to my gp to no avail.

i also take numerous other medications including liquid and or capsules of morphine from time to time for my back because I have 2 slipped discs and pain from the sciatic nerve.

luckily I have a medication review again next week so again going to voice my concerns. As well as these two medications I also take trospium tablets for my bladder, 6mg of diazepam for nerve pain, pregablin twice a day, and baclofen 2 times a day. I feel that hardly any of this medication is doing anything for my ms (except the trospium). I ideally would like to be medication free and have thought about taking CBD Oil instead? Anybody had experience about this or advice they could share with me? I am SPMS but most of the problems I have are invisible and not physical.

Co-Codamol doesn't appear to help. Perhaps 'cos that's the amount of codeine I am prescribed in the tablet itself. It may help to ease the pain, but is not something I would use permanently.

Due to epilepsy, my doctor won't prescribe anything with a higher amount of Codeine.

Causes constipation and drowsiness. Limited effect on reducing pain. Sometimes feel that side effects outweigh the limited benefits. Have reduced the amount I take over the years and I am now looking at alternative treatments with the chronic pain team.
