I have to agree with all others about this painful spot. Hopefully it won't impede your upcoming pump surgery -- in fact, hopefully the pump with help it!

I had the trial for the pump, and i just wanted to say that the pump RELIEVED all my pain!!! For one whole day, I was PAIN FREE! It was wonderful! Unfortunately, I couldn't have the pump due to other problems and it broke my heart. But that's another story. LOL

I hope you'll keep us updated on your surgery and the pump implant. I'll be anxious to hear how it all goes, and the level of pain relief! So please let us know, ok?

God bless and take care of yourself. Hugs, Lee
