Brief Answer:
Vicoding would be better.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Generally morphine is not necessary painkiller if the acute phase of pancreatitis is over and she did not have any surgery.
Much better would be Oxycodone with Paracetamole (Vicodin). It should not cause so much side effects.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
