I am a Sr. research asst. in a research facility and also an rn. I worked with investigators and they have found that morphine injected in normal mice can show inflammation in the spinal cord histologically. So it is believed that even though morhpine alleviates pain it also may cause pain due to its inflammatory nature. I'm not saying that this is the reason, it may just be a sensitivity issue and you can no longer tolerate the drug, but there are studies out there showing the effects of this drug that is meant to alleviate pain.

I felt the same way when I tested. I was so sure I failed when the computer stopped at 75 questions that I went to the bookstore next door and bought another NCLEX book to study. Ten days later I received my congrats and found out I passed!!! What I didn't know was there that I was given a "short" test not the one that takes hours to finish. You never know.....
