I have UHC AARP advantage, I’m allowed a pump adjustment every month, I am now maxed out with dilaudid and 6 bolus per day. I’ve had no problems.

Hello: I went from Fentanyl to Methadone to Dilaudid. Failed back surgery with third Medtronic Pain Pump. I have lots of burning in right leg, Groin, Hip, Butt down to Foot and Toes. Also going into left leg and toes. They have 3.000 now in third pump with 100 Bolus three a day Dilaudid. They call it Hydromorphon. The burning ing in my right leg and feet are driving me out of my mine. I thought I was better on Methadone but had more stomach upset. The Dilaudid when I take a Bolus puts me asleep. Does the Dilaudid put you to sleep? Plus constipation is terrible. Anyway my burning feels like an open wound with Iodine pored on me. I’m in a world of hurt and don’t know what to do anymore. Thinking of having pump taking out. Don’t know. Does your Bolus put you to sleep.? Thank you for any comments. Jeff

Jeff again. May I ask what your pump is set at per day. You said you were Max Out. Mine is at 3.000 Thank you
