Default Morphine Pump

Hello everyone,

I am new to this site, and new to actively participating in any web site,
such as this, so please be patient with me. Also, feel free to give me
advice and correct me if I do something wrong.
Now with that out of the way, I would appreciate your opinions and advice as soon as possible on morphine pumps. I have done research on them,
but have never talked to anyone who has had experience with them.
I have to make a decision on Monday, the 15th, to have one put in or not.
It is my last option. I currently have a stimulator, which does not really
help.
I have had RSD for 10 years. It originated in my knee and for the last
5 years it has spread throughout my entire body, from the top of my head
to the tip of my toes. As I am sure you are aware, the pain is devistating.
I have tried all the pain meds, none of them really help. For my flare ups,
I have to go to the ER for injections of morphine. That just about covers
my history.
Again, I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone could give me on
their experiences with morphine pumps.
Thank you so much!
MelissaB
