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

i have fibromyalgia does it qualify to have pain pump surgery? I have been on high dose medications and have failed taking the opioids. I need a higher dose but pain management refused so I would run out having to self-medicate.

I don't think insurance will pay for a pump for fibro.

I live with pain and kind of thank god I'm allergic to opioids of all kinds. Takes away all decisions and instantly makes me not a drug seeker. I self inject toridol, a strong antiinflammatory when needed, about 4 times a year.

You might ask for one shot and see if it helps. They gladly give it in the er. Its not a med to remove pain for a few hours. Literally a very strong anti-inflammatory so it's not only taking me away pain it's actually helping your body. Anti-inflammatory diet is next on my list. Hard to afford good food.

You have to find a neurosurgeon or pain specialist that does the pain pump trial. They will look at your pain journey and evaluate you for a pain pump,
