Default Will pain pump work with multiple pain sources?


Pain pump question

I have several different pain sources on my body:
- sacrum
- S2, S3 (left side of sacrum)
- Coccyx
- rectum (pudendal nerve pain)
- L3, L4, L5
- T4, T5

Can one catheter deal with all those different pain sources? *Or is it because *the meds are placed into the spinal cord directly that their effect is systemic? *Somewhat similar to taking pain meds orally.

I have not had my pain pump trial yet and I am hoping it will work.*

Under what cases does it fail to work, when it fails?

Comments, thoughts?

Thanks!
