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

I have very similar symptoms. No doctor can pinpoint the exact source of my pain. The pump gave me decent relief for about a week. Then it kind of stopped. They are perplexed. I am at a relatively high dosage, but what is too high? We just moved to Delaware so I have to find new docs.

That's terrible - no blockage? What a bad time to move. This is the type of care I'm afraid of missing. if I do it. Still undecided. It sure would be nice to be able to get out of bed with little pain vs what I do today! Sounds SO nice - but I'm afraid of all the issues. Seems like there is quite a few, by many people.
I hope you find a new Dr. quickly! I don't live there, else I would offer to help. Maybe someone else on the list is from there?

I wish you luck finding a doctor to help you with your pain pump. I have considered getting a pain pump in the past but I’ve heard that some doctors don’t like to service pain pumps that have been implanted by other doctors. I don’t know if it’s true, but I can only imagine that might be the case. But I hope you will find someone and figure it out. If it gave you relief for a week, it seems like a willing and capable pain management doctor could find the problem and fix it.
