Thinking about stimulator or pain pump for chronic lumbar pain

I understand and relate with what you mean about pain affecting concentration and memory.
Did the home infusion company say why they could not secure your medication? Did they successfully get in the past and this was a new change or did they never do the infusion/pump refill?
What is the medication used in the pump? How is the pump refilled? I would think there should be options closer to you to get the pump refilled or for the infusion business to be able to have you receive the medication delivered at home so they can do the refill at home. Have you checked with the pharmacy that controls the medication needed and your insurance company to look into options available to you at home or closer than 30 miles?

@dlydailyhope So many questions. The home infusion co refilled the pump once. It’s done by injection into a port on the pump. I get Dilaudid. They never explained why they couldn’t get it. Since I’m almost out, I didn’t want to med around, waiting for them. A thirty mile trip once every three months isn’t too bad. Gets me out of the house.
