Kebsa; Prior to implanting my infusion pump, a neurosurgeon warned me it wouldn't relieve my pain. I asked him to amputate both of my legs then. He told me this would be unethical & wouldn't relieve my pain due to phantom pain. Unlike you, I had several problems & no relief from the pump. However, I am happy that you have gotten relief w/ no complications & pray that you have continued success. CRPS, (RSD), is different than CPS. My CPS has overwhelmed my RSD pain that has disabled me since 2001. This in no way minimizes the suffering of CRPS,(RSD), which as we both know is quite severe. Unfortunately, w/ CPS, opiates have little effect no matter how they are delivered. Take care & good luck.
