The prevalence of itching when on strong (opioid) pain medication is very common. It's hard to treat as common anti-itch medications don't work. There is a medication called Capsaicin that may help.
Ask your doctor for advice on this matter and see if your morphine dosages can be reduced somewhat so as to relieve you of the itching.
