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. Tayla |

That is so nice to hear during my recovery My family and friends keep assessing me every day- how do you feel? Do you feel it was worth it? My mom even caught on with the 1-10 scale I think after watching me fail so many surgeries and procedures it's a miracle that [I]something[I] is actually going to work!
I'm so glad to hear that your pump has helped you so much and I appreciate the encouragement. Thanks! |

AJ had the trial pain pump put in yesterday, and is feeling
pretty sore. They've cut her oral meds in half, and her legs hurt more than before the pump. We're hopeful though, because she's not in withdrawal yet, and she's not in so much pain she can't talk, so the pump must be doing something. How long does it take for withdrawal to hit anyway? She usually takes oxycontin every 4 hours, and so she's had only half doses for the past 4 doses. AJ's mom |
