Hello, You can continue morphine pumps. However, Morphine is not suitable for long-term use because it can cause addiction. You can consider drugs like tramadol can be tried. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
