Titanium Rods Inserted In The Hip After A Hip Fracture. Morphine Given For Pain. Have Hallucinations And Itching. Side Effects?
My mother in law broke her hip and had 2 titanium rods instead of a hip replacement. She was given morphine for pain management post surgery. She is experiencing hallucinations, and itchiness. She says she feels like time is moving too fast and also says she is having déjà vu. Are those side effects from the morphine and/ or anesthesia?

Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your querry.
Yes it can be casued by these medicines but it shouldnt last for longer than 2 weeks so if this persist she should visit specialist for psychological examination. Till that try to be with here as much as you can because hallucinations may lead to many dangerous situations.
Wish you good health.
