Hi ~ Have you asked your doc if you might be a candidate for a Morphiine Pump? Since you seem to be in intractable pain, you might just be a candidate. I had the trial for the pump, and I had NO PAIN at ALL!! Unfortunately, I couldn't have it implanted because I'm too small. I don't have enough "fatty" tissue to implant it.

If I were you, I think I'd ask my doc about it. All he can say is no, right? It's worth asking about. I pray you can have it cause it's saved many people from agony. Best of luck and God bless. Peace, Lee
