Morphine doesn't actually get rid of pain; all natural and synthetic opiates only alter the brain's perception of pain so that it appears it's less or non-existent. But the pain still remains.
Over time, as your body becomes more tolerant to opiate therapy, it will become harder to maintain pain control with the same dosage. While it doesn't happen to many people, you can reach a point wher you're no longer getting any more pain relief, only increased side effects. It's not a fun situation to be in.
