Hello @mlmchem1. I am sorry you are going through this all while your pain continues to worsen.
Because you are interested in connecting with others to learn more about pain pumps and their experiences, you will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion on the same topic that you can find here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pain-pump-1/?pg=2#chv4-comment-stream-header
I see member @drorvick has joined you. I'd also like to bring in @gcranor who may be able to share more as well.
When are you thinking you will have this procedure?

Hi,
My name is Doreen. Great idea putting us together to share information.
Would it be alright to post links to two Positivity groups on Facebook?
Also a group with chronic pain, mental health, CRPS/RSD, and related issues
that cover the use of IV Ketamine, compounded nasal spray, troche's,
capsules, sublingual, and Spravato. These 3 groups have administrators and
moderators that stay on top of all posts. All groups' rules protect
members and their privacy. I can send you the links separate to check if
needed. No selling is allowed. Doctor's, clinic's and other links are not
out of line. Administration checks on them first. Success stories, idea's,
personal experiences are shared. Fun and laughter is shared all the time.
Venting and what's happening with you is needed too. We share a lot of
happy pictures of family and pets. Always jokes. Prayers are asked for.
Some write music and sing. Support, compassion, and being there for each
other may reduce stress levels. Let me know about sharing the group links
or if you need to check them out first.
Take Care. Your friend, Doreen

The trial is scheduled for June 10. I don't know how long after that before I can actually get the pump. The doctor told me it would probably be 2-3 weeks.
