I have a friend up in New York that had a morphine implant and it
changed his life around.  He was in such pain that he was willing to
have is spinal cord cut and give up walking.  From what I understand
he does not become addicted and he is pain free.  Before he got the
morphine implant he always had an ashen color to his face.  When he
feels pain he pushes a place on his abdomen I believe and it injects a
specified dose.  This was a very low level break that he had on his
tail bone so I don't know how well it works with higher level
injuries.  I hope that this helped.
Frank.
