Thanks for sharing your situation with us about your pain pump and so glad to hear that you have benefited from it too. Pain management is very important to all of us who suffer from chronic pain. I have a SCS implant and have if for only 4 weeks now, so still quite new to it plus this site. Im getting good results with it too which is terrific. And Im in total agreement with you when you say that you MUST be honest both with yourself and the professionals when trying out these implants. They are there to help not hinder. Thankfully. I wish you the best of luck and continued relief with your pain pump Jackie |

Hello my Friend-
Good to see you post again, and to re-read thoughts you present about pain management through pump, the manner, method, and process about presenting for evaluation, AND you multiple iterations of the device. You are well experienced beyond many of the rest of us, and you are living the dream of leaps forward in technology. May yours continue to bless you as it currently provides! Mark56 PJ |

I was sure hoping you'd chime in on this thread!
There seems to be very little discussion on the pain pump.......so you are the first 'Go To' man we've got! The other's who've received the pumps have drifted off somewhere beyond the great divide....... I think of them often and hope they are doing well! THANK YOU so much for your commitment to stick around to answer questions and give straightforward feedback! The pump could very well be the answer many are looking for, but like you say, it's a matter of hooking up and communicating with the right Dr to make this commitment! You are a true blessing to this forum! Rae |

I'd say I get 100% coverage, and 80% pain reduction. Only difference is if I'm in a flare of RSD, the burning on the surface of the skin gets no relief at all from the stims

That is the devil of the distinction that I have not received any remark by way of diagnosis from Doc, whether this BURNING feeling of my right foot is something other than remnant radicular neuropathic pain or this other devil of a thing. I would imagine RSD is not touched by stim. Thanks Vanna, you give me something about which to think,
