I've been waiting for several years to get a pain pump, but there's no one in my area who would maintain it. It reduces the dosage of medication exponentially from the oral dose. As I understand it, the hassle of government regulations is gone because of the delivery of the medication. You can't overdose or abuse it or sell it like the government and many doctors think you will. I just keep waiting and hoping and pressing for someone to provide the service of maintenance. I'll be interested to hear from you how the pump compares to oral.

You didn't mention the source of your pain. I hope you are delighted with your pump.
