@bilt4pain That’s great information. I wish I had done more research prior to getting the trial. I would have asked all those important questions regarding how much I was getting. I was on the verge of getting the pump removed until I started looking into all those amounts. That was when I discovered how low I was even after sixteen months. So, going up again. Not sure what my current level is. At my last refill, the nurse told me that I was at about 1.9 mg. I guess that’s per day. I’ve had it increased by ten percent and fifteen percent a few times so I don’t know where I am currently.
I have seen others on this site way up there, so I’m not too worried about going higher. I guess I’m fortunate to be able to get my output adjusted every two to four weeks.
Let’s try and keep each other updated if I can remember. lol. Thanks again!

@heisenberg34
1.9 X 24 hours = this would be your daily dose.
You are still at a fairly low dose per day.

@heisenberg34
How long have you had the pain pump and what was your pain level before you had it inplanted and whay is your current pain level. Do you recommend one for chronic back and feet pain?
