Pain pump failure

@heisenberg34 So sorry to hear of all the pump issues. I had one put in 2 years ago and my spinal issues are pretty good. The pump is to treat spine only, a mm d when I realized that, I took my all over body pain, which was severe, to a Rheumatologist who right away put me on Pregablin. I feel like I did 50 years ago. The pump is almost perfect, but we are still raising the dosage on it, but for other pain, Pregablin is great. Hope you get all straightened out.

@bestoflife Thanks for your great response. It really encourages me when I learn of fellow commenters being able to get their pain under decent control. If I may, please answer a few questions. Do you know what kind of meds are in your pump? Daily dosage? How long did it take to get the good relief? How many times has the dosage been raised?
I switched from gabapentin to pregabalin. but it didn't really work any better. I hope you continue to get good pain relief.
