I am wondering if any one has had any experience with the Prialt Pump? The original site of my crps is my left foot/leg, diagnosed in sept 09. Oct 09 it spread to the hip and cocyxc . In Nov. it started to mirror to my left foot and bottocks. My PM doc said that it was progressing very quickly. I was scheduled for a spinal cord stimulator in Jan which turned out miserably. I was in the procedure room longer than I should have been. I only had the spinal cord stim in for 1 1/2. I couldn't get the level past 1.2 and they removed it. I came home and laid in bed for 6 days as I had been in severe pain and I lost urine continency, which I have not regained. I had an mri done and found out that I have 4 lumbar disks that are bulging and 1 that is ruptured. During the exam with the neurologist he used the small mallet on my right knee which swelled 4 times the normal size which has only returned to 2 size but not normal.

Now Dr. Hicks is requesting that I have a prialt pump and I would like to know if anyone has had one done. What your experiences were?


Thanks for letting me vent. Please respond I need advice from my firends and the ones who know.
