@melby6069 ----so sorry to hear that....your post over a year ago i hope relief was found since then....i am going in for trial for pain pump October 29, 2025....i am paraplegic with both legs amputated.....i have herniated disc in neck and not sure what level........i have phantom pain from amputations.....and last week after that electrical test they do...now i have severe carpel tunnel in both arms and wrists and hands that cramp and cannot close hands....my hips are pretty much frozen and my hips hurt a lot.....i have also both rotator cuff tendons in both shoulders full-width tears ( torn and separated tendons that are inoperable )....they had me for years on Suboxone for chronic pain....biggest mistake ever....the affinity rate or half life of this wicked drug can take up to a year to get off of...and puts strangle hold on Mu opiate receptors so i went `15 years ago from like 4-6 Norco a day....to a minimum of 150 mg of both Oxycontin and instant release Oxycodone....and that is not enough....i dont drug seek and i do not get a Eurphoric feeling from these meds....it will be useless if they start lowest med level to begin journey on pain pump...i get so depressed because even 150 mg of Oxy is not effective...but because of new laws....their doctor oath of "do no harm"....should be changed to do no harm to thy medical license....sorry if i sounded negative....i am very depressed
