Question:
Has anyone had a pain pump installed in their abdomen? I am considering it for chronic back pain. Suggestions?
I have tried many different pain pills. I am currently taking morphine orally. I am hopeful about the pain pump and would welcome input. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Answers:
Deborah, first off Jerry Lewis has a Neurostimualtor Implant not a morphine pump implant. I know this because we are both Ambassadors for the same company.
I had a Neurostimualtor implant 2 years ago and it totally changed my life.
The pump was not an option for me because my pain area is large.
The Neurostimulator uses electricity not pain killers.
I was able to get off of all those massive doses of Morphine and other drugs.
As an Ambassador for Medtronic I have heard really good success stories about the pump that you are talking about.
It has relife(sp) to so many people.
If you would like to see how much a Medtronic implant how helped me. Go to
www.tamethepain.com.au Wendy's story.
It will allow you to leave a lot of your pain pills behind as the morphine or other pain control is delivered directly to the site of your back pain.
If you would like to ask me any question you can e-mail me through this site or the Medtronic Tame the Pain site.

I hope to hear from you.
