Pain pump, I have one, how about one for you?

What condition do you have that warrants a pain pump? I’ve been thinking of asking my pain doctor for one, but I have no diagnosis and the only symptom have is horrible pain down both legs. I’m glad yours works for you.

Usually a pain pump is recommended when all conservative measures, i.e, pain meds. PT, etc. have failed to have an effective measure of pain mediation. I have seen at least eight pain specialists over the past few years and had a spinal cord stimulator implanted. I have been on a cocktail of meds to help control pain, but nothing has really been helping for the past two years. I went to another pain specialist who does the trial of the pain pump. An injection on two separate occasions. The second injection reduced my pain by 70 to80%. I am now a candidate for the actual pain pump surgery.
