I had a pain pump installed back in April. Since morphine was not effectiv in the trial, and hydromorphone was, I am receiving hydromorphone intrathecally (space around spinal cord). After several dosage increases, I began to feel some relief. About a month ago my pain level dropped down to a 2. Great! Than, about a week later, the pain shot back up to around a 7 or an 8. Two more dosage increases have shown no improvement. Even the added bolus is mostly ineffective. Any one experience such odd ups and down with a pain pump Is it possible to receive too much medication? Help me, Rhonda!
How has the low dose naltrexone worked for you?!
Best,
