I pretty much have the same story. My experience is similar to yours. That is the experience I have had with my pain pump and to get relief I had to take a couple of oxycodone that I had left over from a previous operation. I have just about quit doing a bolus as it just doesn't help.

I tried to get my pain doc to give me a script for oxycodone. He refused and just amped up the doage. I am going to call his office and ask them to either: reduce the dosage way back (I think the higher dosage has begun to interfere with my sleep) or, pull the hydromorphone out and replace with saline. I was on a different post from someone who said that they did exactly that. I asked if there were any bad side effects. Waiting for a response. What are your plans for a pump that doesn't help? Some have said that they had the pump removed.
