Thinking about stimulator or pain pump for chronic lumbar pain

If you have your experience many other patients do, too. Do they tell you at that doctor’s office that patients are responsible for the pain medication resupply process before appointments?! Do they treat the medication like a prescription refill that is then sent to the doctor for medical appointments to replenish? The doctor should have clear communication with all patients with pain pumps what the process is and what the roles and responsibilities are. They should not assume patients know how this process all works.

@dlydailyhope I am usually in so much pain that I tend to forget things not long after they are told to me. I assumed that the Home Infusion people had contacted my doc in order to get my info. I certainly didn't contact them. It seemed like a good deal to me at the time. No need to go thirty miles to get the pump refilled. Well, last week they told me that they had to cancel my visit because they could not secure my medication. If that's going to be the case, I will stick with going the thirty miles every three months to get it refilled.
