Pain Medication Causing More Pain?

Every couple months I end up in the ER with acute pain that requires IV/IM narcotics. I had a bad reaction to Morphine in the past and can no longer use it. The last time I was in the ER I got Dilaudid. I ended up with the same reaction that I have to Morphine. I got a sudden severe pain in my abdomen and a horrible achy feeling up my neck and down my shoulders, extreme nausea and I was very diapheretic. What causes this? I have tried searching this topic to no avail.
Answer:
it's another reaction.. All of use have diffrent reactions to diffrent drugs.. Next time you go to the ER or the doctors tell them you have an allergy to both Morphine and Dilauden.. There are other things they can give you.. tell them how both meds make you react...

First of all, pain is a symptom, not a disease. Abdominal pain means there is a problem somewhere in the abdomen - there can be many reasons for the pain: minor stuff like ovulatory pain to major things like dissecting aortic aneurism. The ED would have mentioned life-threatening processes and you'd be fixed up or dead. So what you really need is a work-up by your personal physician to find out what's going on. The drugs you mention only cover up the problem - and heavy-duty narcotics cause problems themselves: respiratory depression, constipation, dependency (read: addiction). Withdrawl from narcotics causes abdominal pain, nausea, diaphoresis, vomiting, which can be "cured" by more narcotics.Get with your own doctor and see what's causing this problem . . . perhaps a referral to a pain control specialist would be beneficial.

possably an allergic reaction. Best to never use those products again.

You dont give details about your narcotic use do you have pain every day ? Do you need daily meds ? Do you use street drugs ? You may be having rebound pain . This can occur when the body is used to narcotics and has a acute pain when you try to relieve it with more pain meds it causes more pain . Or you could just be allergic to morphine , diluadid is a synthetic type of morphine .
