One year later and I am still searching for answers. I began having my pain pump output gradually reduced with the goal of having it removed since it has not given me any pain relief. Now I am thinking that perhaps I did not go high enough to get the same relief as I received with the trial(8 down to a two). I have had difficulty getting the dosage of hydromorphone that was injected into my intrathecal space. If I could find that out, perhaps we could start taking my dosage up to that point. Of course, now I seem to have developed peripheral neuropathy, so I'm not sure if the pump will help that. What think ye, fellow contributors?
