Hello,

Embeda 30 is morphine / naltrexone, a group of narcotic analgesic used for the chronic non responsive pain such as your back pain from scoliosis. The only way that would help is suppressing the pain centers, rather than I would suggest you to consult an expert pain management specialist who can guide you for epidural analgesic which will be devoid of systemic side effects of such narcotic agents.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
