Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just had my acl replaced and had been givin 60,five milligram pills of morphine and took all them within the week it s been two weeks now and I can barely eat because of upset stumic and I ve had diaria severely a few times and now it s turned more solid but black for two days. I ve just started being able to eat but I m consurned about the stool color.
It is quite common after taking morphine. Nothing much to worry and it is due to excretion of metabolites through stool. No definite treatment is required and it will settle by itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
