Have Acute Back Pain, Vomiting, Headaches, Sickness. Allergic To Morphine. On Demerol. Is That Sufficient?

Hi. I've had a prn Rx for demerol since 1980 due to intermittant acute back pain after having a disc removed (L-4/L5) in 1976. My new doctor now tells me its an "archaic" drug and he can no longer prescribe it. I'm allergic to morphine (makes me very sick, vomiting and severe headaches). My doctor didn't give me any idea of an alternative medication...just said I should come see him when it happens. Totally out of the question as I can barely crawl when it happens let alone make a trip to a doctors office and climb a bunch of stairs. What can I take instead?

Hi Friend ..
Thanks for using Health Care Magic..

I read your query and it seems you are alleric to morphine and too stopped taking demerol made you worse with pain.
I suggest you to get prescribed for Percocet 10 mg for pain relief as alternative choice of morphine .
Percocet is an opiod anelgesic will help you to overcome back pain.

Wishing you to have a healthy life without pain .
Take Care.
