Tomorrow morning I go to pain management to have my monthly followup and am inquiring about a 'pain pump' to help reduce the number of side effects and less need for the oral that can be placed into the pain pump and then into my lumbar spine at a constant level of delivery and help have more round the clock pain control.

I am hopefull yet nervous. I have to be free of infection for so long and the law will no longer allow me to take the nerve pain narcotic dose I was taking and now already on my main pain drug as being morphine at 600mg a day oral as well as 6 15mg oxycodone instant release and hoping the pain pump trial can get under way and that some of the constant pain will let me have some more of a quality of life.

I am understanding the pain management dr I have been going to for over 5 years now says they can put meds into the pump that are not available in oral form.

Thanks and wish me luck I need to try and get some rest.
