Hi Tayla--this catheter procedure you described sounds very interesting...When you have it in place, are YOU able to control the amount of the anesthetic? How big is the pump, and do you wear it around your waist on a belt or someting?

When you have it in place, how often do you have to see the Doctor (on average) to replenish the supply of anesthetic? Are you able to be fairly "mobile", or are you basically confined to your home? Have you had problems with the catheter becoming dislodged or anything? Are you able to drive?

Also, have you ever heard of this type of procedure being used for people who have RSD in their legs?

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain in a little more detail!!
