@jenatsky I really don’t know, but I am seeing my pain management specialist this week and will ask. I have had many different treatments,like trigger point injections,light therapy,nerve ablation, radio frequency,epidural blocs,steroids, hot pepper treatments ( that’s not the medical term!)and even tried acupuncture. So far, nothing has helped even a bit.

@spenjen you also may consider asking about Buprenorphine Patch which provides 24/7 pain relief. It has really helped me control my pain. What did your studies show was wrong with your back?

I thought I had reached a breakthrough with my pain pump. Two days ago I decided to use five of the six boluses available to me. That's one every two hours. About an hour after the fifth one, I noticed a significant reduction in my foot pain and the pain along the back of my feet had diminished quite a bit. I am on 2.85 mg/24 hours. Each bolus is about 0.215 mg. Unfortunately, I tried to replicate the results the next day. No pain reduction. I was devastated, to say the least. I am wondering if anyone out there has had similar experiences? Thank you!
