I just read on a website that the morphine pump can fail if you also take strong pain meds with it. One thing listed was transdural patches. Perhaps the meds you are taking with the pump is being counterproductive. Also the study found that over 14 mg spinal morphine seemed to cause an increase in the pain level.

I have pasted the link to the article I was reading.

Take care,
Sarah
