@kimspr3 Did you have an scs or a drg stimulator? I have a Burst DR stimulator from Abbott (when I got the implant it was with St. Jude, then they sold it to Abbott). There are a few surgery centers around here, connected with groups of doctors. They do a wide range of outpatient surgeries. If it becomes necessary to stay overnight the patient is moved to the hospital, just a few blocks away.

I spoke with my pain specialist last week and he said that the doctors who did pain pumps here in Oregon no longer do them. There are a few who put them in but they're quite a ways away from home. I'm not sure why they stopped doing them. But the medication he started me on has been working - hopefully not just in my head.
