I was on 7mg of hydrocodone 2× a day, gabapentin, and muscle relaxers.
I got more relief on those than with this pump. Now with this pump, doc won't prescribe anything even though my pain level is the same as before.
I'm so discouraged. I need it turned off or taken out so I can get my oral medications back.
Yes, I had the trial injection and it worked. I think he changed the medication or has the catheter in a different place than where he put the injection.
Doc said he was not qualified to take it out and said it would be risky as the dural space might not close up.
I wasn't told any of this before I got this thing.
