The docs want to put in an intrathecal pump in me to help with the horrible pain and because I’m on very high doses of oxycontin and oxcycodonne. I’m scared to have it in because I’m a skinny guy and I’m wondering if it will even help much or what kind of pain meds are the best to be straight in blood for anyone with horrible nerve pain? I pushing to do this hopeing i can get back to a somewhat normal life and wondering if it hlps others with neuro pain?
it doesnt go into the bloodstream. try this website for info on the drug pump.
