What Distracts You From the Pain?

What could be too painful for the pain pump? They can also use morphine which is not as strong as Dilaudid but I suppose they could use fentanyl or one of its derivatives which are orders of magnitude stronger than Dilaudid? Ultrium is very addictive. It's not the kind of addiction where you crave the drug when you try to stop taking it but you do get very very sick if you've been using it long term. When I stop taking it it was a full 96 hours of having the worst flu like symptoms you could possibly imagine.

@stephen, I agree. Long term use of tramadol, then stopping I found it terrible to come off. No one warned me. Guess I just mean it can be useful if one uses occasionally for less severe pain. Doubt if a doctor will allow a pain pump for someone who hasn't used opioids before. I think a pump would be great in my case. I hear very good things about them. If I remember right, the woman said she had not used any opioids. Could be wrong, but if that's the case it would make sense to try out opioids before implanting a pump.
