How Long Does Morphine Inj. Pain Relief Last (Top voted first)

I got an inj. of morphine in my leg yesterday, as I suffer from chronic back pain. My dr gave me the inj. around 12:40pm yesterday after lunch, and I'm wondering how long it lasts, as it did help, and this morning I was a bit spaced out. So is that inj. still working to control the pain?

Hello, Tweeter! How are you?

Generally, it only last a few hours, but the side effects may linger longer, which could explain why you were feeling spaced out.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

My mom is being given morphine intravenously to help her feel more comfortable as she nears the end of her life. It has just run out and we’re waiting for another one to be fitted. How long have we got before she suffers from any pain (i.e. how long does morphine pain relief last)? Nurses are very busy.
