Hello: I had the Dilaudid taking out. Did not help me. I am on Methadone that makes your constipation worse. I have had twenty five years of chronic Nerve Pain from my back down my right leg to foot and toes. The last year or more the nerve pain has went into the left side now. Also in the last two years I have developed inching in right toes and left leg and in testicals really bad. Methadone has done nothing for Nerve pain. Have sciatic so bad from my butt down side of right hip in right testicular and down the back of leg in foot and toes. Constant struggle in my head. Took my life away. Lost count of shots. Should have never had two back surgeries or any shots. They just made me worst. I was the guinea pig for science. You would think after all these years someone would come forward and fix this sciatic nerve problem. From blocker and other Magic wands. All a latter of money making options that don’t work. Just like back surgery. 99% of them don’t work. Then when you’re desperate you make another mistake and get a pump. After that they you. Only thing that helped with my pain was oxycodone. Started out with a 5mg every 8 hours. After time your body gets use to it and you move up to a 10mg. Then some more time goes by and you go to 15 mg every 8 hours. Then they only start lasting 6 hours. Through all this they never tell you the toll it takes on your colon and hemorrhoids. Doctors don’t want to focus on you after your surgery fails. Which most all of them do. If I did not have the med help I’d jump. Tried to get in the Mayo Clinic for years. They refused right from the beginning. They have been no help every time since 1999. I have had nothing but trouble with getting help after pain pump. They want nothing to do with you after you have one. Except hook you up with the Doctor that put it in for more shots or gimmicks. Otherwise they won’t even talk to me. They set me up with someone to fill pump you never seen in your life. Then they talk to you like crap if you want to talk to the doctor. Only way you can talk to him is like I said. Surgery, shots, or any way to make money on you. Tell everyone never have back surgery. Not hard to get them to poke you or cut you or not fit involved and blow you off.

@jeffspain Sorry to hear of your bad experienced. Don't let those make you bitter. Try to look up and see God's love. I know it can be difficult but don't let the lows of life get you completely down. Sometimes, as the old saying goes, "You have to hit bottom before you can look up". My prayers for you to find a way to look up, my friend.
