I don't know what else to ask for. She's been on Loratab, then Percocet, and now this liquid Morphine. She was doing a lot better while she able to take pain medicine along with Ibuprofen, but now that surgery is so close they told her to stop taking it. Is a steroid beneficial in reducing this kind of swelling?
