No one every mentioned to me about morphine patches,either privately or NHS. Not sure this is a good route to go down as I am 4 years with frozen shoulder and by now I would probably be hooked on morphine. Try looking them up and see what the PIL leaflet says.

I have been prescribed beupnorphine 10mg patches (spelling?) i had tried varius pain relief for the past 2/3 years and nothing relly worked or was not suitable for me, i have arthritis also in the neck/spine and fingers. so maybe the reasoning behind the prescription was to ease the pain of that also, i have no side effects with the patch although i did start on 5 mg, the first 2 nights of applying the patch (change weekly) i sleep solid virtually pain free, but then the pain starts creeping back, its not as acute but still there, the gp says the best we can hope for is alleviating 70% of the pain, i also use the analgesic cream and top up with paracetamol, its not ideal to be on these patches and if some other form of pain relief works for you i would go with that. i am due for surgery in the near future ( within 4/5 months) i have a discussion on this forum if you would like to take a look, i sympathise with anyone thats going through this awful pain and wait that we have to go through. bb
