I did stand in line at the sandwich shop, when I told the doc that she was impressed, we both knew how long that line normally is.
It is for Prialt. I know the risks of this drug. So as long as I don't go psychotic, all will be fine. Well, not really, but you guys know what I mean. I do worry about short term memory issues, I had some when I went on one of my meds now and got through it, eventually it got much better once I got used to it.
I'm wondering if anybody has one, where did they put it? Above or below the waist? I'm thinking above because I'm pretty curvy and the only spare space in my clothing would be there.
How long were you out of work? Doc says it'll be a week at max.

Hi Chaos!
Hello everyone,I don't have a pain pump but had a scs from boston scientific ,works well during the trial,but also depends in the positioning of your generator,my gave me hard time for a year was on my buttocks,a real pain,still with pain,was repositioned this past January to my abdomen since then work well but the damage on my buttocks area is still my big concern,ask your dr what options you have in positioning any device,I did not have that choice if I can turn back the time,I will decide the abdomen for sure.still today I can't be seating for more than an hour and one of my dr think that my sciatic nerve was damage because of that generator
I was curious about pain pump,but I heard about it after my scs surgery,do research first on anything,and remember not all the treatments works for everyone,blessings and good luck,Jesika
