I haven't had my pump put in yet. I am still waiting for my stimulator to be removed-- hopefully this month. My pain management doctor said they will be placing my pump in my back. He said it's a better placement for individuals who carry more weight on them.
My pain pump was implanted in my abdomen. It has never helped with my pain, even after a very successful trial(dropped pain from 8 to a 2). Now it just sits there, flopping around like a big, old, stale bagel. I am getting it removed as soon as I get its output reduced to a safe level. I hope you have much success with yours. Many do.
