I came across this website while doing some research about fluid buildup around my implanted interthecial pump. I've had a pump for about six years now, and I'm on my second one. Overall, I've been greatly pleased with the results. I really haven't had any complications, other than this newly developed "fluid buildup" around the pump. The dr feels this really isn't anything to worry about, and I really haven't had any issues with it. I joined because I thought, after reading a few posts, this site might benefit from someone who has had a fairly positive experience with his pump. I'm open to any and all questions.
