I wish I had some advice to offer, instead I can only lend support.

I know this is probably a silly question, but is there someone else that you could see for a second opinion??

I think I have told you my hubby has an interthecal pump to manage his radation burn from his cancer treatment. It is very effective, not completely but he was in agony prior, bedridden and miserable. At least now he is mobile and able to get out and about!

They had him barely moving for 1 month post op. to allow the pump to scar in. That was really emphasized!! Also, He could tell once it scarred in. It felt more stable, more secure.

Is there any possibility they would consider that for you?? I myself would consider one ( if I needed that kind of pain management) after seeing how much relief he has had from his.

I hope you will be able to come to a decision soon and be able to get the pain relief you desire and deserve!!
