i had stimulator put in and it did nothing for my pain.
i will hopefully go through pain pump trial soon if i dont get more surgery. it seems there is a much better success rate with the pump. you need to get the pump refilled about every 2 mos. it needs to be monitored carefully to make sure there is no christalisation at the end of the catheter. the pump is used successfully to ease pain in cancer patients.
i weigh 240 lbs so i'm sure i wont have the trouble leesa had with the size of the pump reservoir......i'm glad your day is a better one......pete
