I had my pump implant 21 years ago it put dilated into my spine at the spot where the problem was it worked until they used the wrong type of medicine in February now I am in pain just like I never had one because they won’t turn it back up I was getting 6.5 milligrams every 24 hours and now I have gotten 1 milligram in 80 days that is the problem you have no control over what they do and with all this stuff going on about opioid I think they want out but it worked great when it did

I'm sorry to hear your stimulator is no longer helping with your CRPS. Have you talked to your doctor about your stimulator implant no longer helping?
