i am so sorry to hear about your situation & the limitations you now have. Take it from me, please try the pain pump & don't give up. I gave up, after 3 decades of severe pain & limitations, similar to yours. I don't know if things could have been different for me. but living with the severe pain & limitations is terrible. It seems that there are limits to what pain management can do. But please don't give up. Life is too precious to throw it away from severe pain. Once this happens, seems it just got worse for me. I am single & have had no life, the last 20 years. it's very depressing, & so easy to isolate & give up. hope you have a good therapist & support system. I have to use a walker & this has really limited any social life Good luck & keep me posted!
