Have you had a Pain Pump removed??

The doc checked that and said the catheter hadn't moved and so far the pump output is exactly what it is supposed to be.
I can't help but think there's a hole in the catheter and that the meds aren't getting into the spinal fluid.
I'm going to have to find a new doc, a new set of eyes, to look into it farther. The doc I have has just give up one. I believe he thinks I'm crazy or just a whiner. I wish he had this pain just for a few days so that he would know how real it is. It has taken my life away. I can't plan anything or look forward to anything because this pain makes me wish I had just stayed home. I can't enjoy much at all.

I know exactly what you mean. I can’t ride more than about an hour. Like you, my days are spent mostly at home, sitting in a recliner or lying down on the bed. My pain doc doesn’t even make any suggestions for alternative therapies.
I too would like to give my pain to some of my doctors for a few days and see how they like it. “Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes”.
