Had pain pump implanted. No relief. Anyone have similar experience?

Do you know there is a test that evaluates how your body metabolizes all medications?
Doctors are so afraid of giving pain meds. Tell your doctor you need more, increase a little at a time to make them happy. Or go in and cry about the pain, they don't listen unless you make a big deal about it and not having a life.

Yes, I had the test in 2018. Showed my body doesn't metabolize Valium so I need extra. But 25 years of migraines, 18 years of cervical vertigo fixed with bilateral occipital nerve block. Just went to Cleveland clinic to see their expert, he said occipital nerve block was the answer but it will eventually not work anymore 😒, then I should see the Cleveland doctor that will scrap scar tissue around each nerve
