Hello, I am from Arizona and I too was on high doses of opioids and because the government said my pain was what they said it was and not what I said it was in so I was taking off all opioids and put on a pain pump which was not as effective as I had hoped because it was not systemic taking care of all of my chronic fibromyalgia, new pain back pain and everything else. So I have been taking off that and given a patch which is not working either and I’m very frustrated with the entire Pain medication problem because doctors cannot prescribe these medication’s that I need you have to see a pain specialist which mine is two hours away and I find the whole thing disconcerting, annoying and not fair. So I know what you’re going through because the government is wrong.

A neurosurgeon, who I am seeing, states that ones age affects the effacy of a pain pump. He does not recommend it for older people.
