Medtronic Pain Pump Implanted with or without hospital stay ?

Posted by rwdixon4 @rwdixon4, Oct 8 8:15pm

I had a Medtronic Pain Pump Implanted as an outpatient went home after surgery and had extreme pain for the next few days. It was horrible anyone have one of these implanted with a hospital stay?

Hi @rwdixon4, While you wait for others with experience to respond to your question for those who had a Medtronic pain pump implanted with a hospital stay, I thought I would do a quick search of Connect for other members who have mentioned having the Medtronic pain pump. Here's a link that lists the discussions and comments if you want to scan through them - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=Medtronic+Pain+Pump.

@penn, @thecoldcfart, @cajunlady1971 and @jody1964 may have some experience or suggestions to share with you on the Medtronics pain pump.

Are you referring to a Medtronics Spinal Stimulator? Not sure I’ve heard of a Medtronics pain pump.

Does anyone know if they are doing any stimulators for foot neuropathy? As in I would really like to get some sleep at night! Thanks!

@rwdixon4 that’s interesting! I am going to research further. Wondering if a pump would help me.

@queenierlb I would recommend you research further as I'm not sure how they would get the pain meds to your feet the stimulator may help also but not how they would get the stim leads to your feet but they do some pretty amazing things with implants these days !
It's worth a shot ~
Good luck & healing prayers to you~
