hi mary
im sorry that your RSD is spreading hang in there hun!!!
i dont know if you know i have a pump its not morphine but fentanyl because of a severe allergy to morphine. the pump has worked for me it has helped me be able to do more. granted that i do still have pain and i knew from the beinging that it wouldnt be a cure by far. but it has helped me be able to things that i couldnt do with out it.

on to the surgery this is a Major surgery period its a long recovery the first time they put it in. there is a trial just like with SCS so they get the med combo right they can use all kinds of things. i have had mix of fent and colonidine this helped but the drs i had inbetween clinics messed it up so it had to come out . anyways you can pm me anytime you want to ask questions.

i havent had an problems out of my pump. and there is less likely hood of something going wrong with the pump vs. SCS in my own opioin.

hope this helps
