I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I thought for sure a pain pump would be the answer to my prayers for pain relief, but now I’m hearing so many stories of how they don’t work. I’m guessing once you switch to a pain pump they won’t give you oral pain meds anymore?? Sounds exactly my pm Dr! Horrible bedside manners, offers no ideas for other treatment options, he has no empathy and has even yelled at me when I confronted him on something he had said to me at the previous appt. He claims to be a CRPS specialist but he barely knows anything about it!!

@daxel79 Sounds pretty much like my pm doc. He hasn't yelled yet. LOL. Time to look into a change. I would, too, but there aren't any other PM docs in my area who manage pain pumps. When I was doing research prior to getting my pain pump, it showed a success rate of 94%. I'm beginning to wonder where they got their numbers.
