Pain pump, I have one, how about one for you?

I'm still healing, mainly inside, it is still sensitive. So to reiterate, you sleep on your surgical side? I was told to stay off until the chance of making the device migrate was healed in it's pouch.

I haven't been able to get a pump yet, but when I had a spinal cord stimulator implant, I was pretty restricted with movement- no lifting, bending or twisting so the leads didn't migrate- but as far as lying on it, it was as much a matter of comfort as anything. Because I'm thin, the battery pack is prominent, so I don't like to lie on it, but I usually sleep on the other side so it's not an issue.

The problem I have is that there's no doctor within 100 miles to maintain it, to refill it. Some day.
