Default pain pump

I'm supposed to get a pump March 12. I have RSD all the way up my left leg,
and it's starting in my right foot now. I've had all the blocks, SCS, everything, so now they're going to try the pump. I hope it will allow me to get off a lot of my pain meds so I'm not nodding off all the time, and that it will control the pain better than it is now (at an 8 to 9, all the time). Does anyone have any experience wtih the pump? Do you know if you have to restrict your activities the way you do with the SCS? I'm pretty nervous about the whole thing, especially since nothing has worked so far, and most of the procedures have made things worse.
