@heisenberg34 I was told that I was too young and active a few years ago when I inquired about the pain pump. I'm 65 now and can't walk a 1/4 mile without significant pain. I used to spend 2-3 hours a day in the gym. I cancelled my membership 10 years ago. I can ride 2-2.5 miles a day on my stationary bike. That's it! I assume the pain pump is a morphine drip. My questions are, with all of that morphine in your body, can you carry on normal daily activities? Can you feel it in your system? Can you still drive a car? How does it affect you? Where is the pump located? What happens if you need an MRI? Thanks for responding, my friend!
