It didn't work for me when I was last in hospital. I took Oramorph and codeine/paracetamol and they gave me Ibuprofen on top. Not sure this would be allowed at home though.

We do need to be careful as strong pain killers can have an effect on respiratory rates.

I had oromorph in hospital after my trepanning (look it up!), and I wasn't impressed. It didn't to help that much.

I also have orimorph if pain too bad but I take oxycodone (OxyContin) which are 12 hour release and generally manage with just one 5mg each morning, but everyone's pain different and I did have injection in my spine which has greatly improved that pain.
