14. I would encourage him to investigate the

morphine pump. My son had an aneurysm burst when he was 29 years old and it left him with what is called thalamic pain. He said its like he has no skin on the left side of his body. He was given a morphine pump and the pain is still there but is tolerable. He is now 45 years old. Taking pain meds by mouth isn't as effective as the pump so he needs much less of it since having the pump.
