Morphine is an opiate derivative, the same as Oxycodone. Chances are these will not surpress any pain you have. I just had an emergency apendectomy,they gave me 2 shots through My IV and after 45 minuets I was still in just as much pain. The hospital then gave me some dilauted and that worked great. For some people opiates don't work.
