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!

Well good news then you had your MRI! I would definitely consider having the pump removed. Our bodies don't necessarily need or want foreign objects in them if it can be avoided, especially if the pump brings you no value. And let's face it nobody wants to feel like they have a dried out bagel in their gut . You gave me a chuckle with that.

Good luck on the MRI results. I will be curious what it shows. Do you mind getting back to me with the findings?
