Question Questions for those who have/had pain pump
Try to make it short: Had pain pump that the battery died after a year and a half. Had a new one put in (same catheter). A few years later had that pump removed & not replaced, however the left they catheter in and tied it off. Have been having LOTS of pain in lower back where it exits, and around the side where I assume the catheter is tied off. LOTS OF PAIN...

Anyone out there have an issue with this? When they put the pump in the first time had a sever "electric" pain shooting down my right buttock and leg. Obviously irritated nerves when they put it in. Ironically it was put in for RSD in the arm and hand, nothing to do with the back or legs.
Also diagnosed a few years ago with Hydrocephalus and had surgery for that. Still have chronic headaches & am now wondering if some of them are actually due to the catheter? Maybe it's cracked, leaking.... maybe it's irritating something....
Thanks in advance for any information you might have!
