I am not pain free yet but hopefully I'll get there with time.

I agree ERM,
I am completely at peace with my decision 7 years ago to have my pump inserted.
I was taking hundreds of mgs of oral and IM Morphine per day at the time and now have reduced to 9 mgs intrathecally.
I have never been without pain even since the pump but it is reduced and allowed my quality of life to improve.
