Hi there @heisenberg34 - Sorry to hear you're struggling so with flares of symptoms again. Is this the same pain you had prior to 2021 that you say was under decent control, or is it different? Have you had MRI's before for this area? If so, what were the findings?

Hmm...pain pump...some people swear by them and others say they are a waste. Bummer that its in the way and side tracking your test. Regarding pain, yes, you can always go to the ER if the pain is that severe. They may do an MRI. What do you think may be wrong or causing the severity of your flares?

Thanks for responding. I have considered going to the local ER. Unfortunately, I had one of the worst ER visits ever in my life. Reluctant to go back, but they are the only game in town. Yes, I had the pain pump implanted last April. It was supposed to have this amazing success rate. Ha! Not for me. Has never given me any pain relief. The pump just sits there in the front of my abdomen like a dried out bagel, mocking me. Might as well get it taken out.
Had an MRI on Wednesday. Waiting for the interpretation. Maybe Monday. I am surely hoping that it reveals something...anything. please!
