Well I had the pain pump trial and I’m on the fence about an implant it only really helped me about 3-4 hours. Just as much as my pain meds so I am not looking forward to another surgery and have a follow up appointment in 7 days. I’m interested to hear anyone who has experienced the use of a pain pump for pudendal neuralgia? Did it help? Please share your experience if it works out? Thanks 🙏

I had the pump implanted back in April. After getting it readjusted upward to a higher level, I had significant pain relief (down to a 2 from a 7-8). It was wonderful. I had a new zip in my step... for about a week. And then all the pain returned. Subsequent adjustments have done nothing. I just have this lump in the front of my abdomen, apparently doing nothing. New pain doc has me going in to get the pump checked out to make sure everything is working OK. He seems to think that adding new meds to the pump may help. I am not very confident. I am not saying don't get the pump. The trial went quite well. Apparently no guarantee that the actual pump will help. Just saying.
