Sorry to hear the difficulties you’ve been experiencing. My advice (and that’s all it is) would be to stick with the pump for now and see if you can find a highly recommended neurosurgeon who can address the blocked catheter and the pump location. I am assuming that your trial went well? How was your pain level before and after the trial?
If that’s too much, then keep on looking for a doc who will prescribe new, more effective pain meds. I wish you well.
