  From: Keith Jones
     Liz I have had a morphine block. Unfortunately it did not work

for me. I had some concerns about the morphine affecting me mentally
and becoming addicted. It does not work that way. When injected in
a muscle it has the narcotic effects associated with a painkiller.
However injected intrathecally (the fluid surrounding the spinal cord)
it has no narcotic properties but can and does relieve pain in many
people. I would give it a try. It is relatively safe .

do not get surgery.
