Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Hi everyone I have a question can a doctor put in a different kind of pain medication in the pump other than morphine. Cause I am allergic to morphine I itch and have a hard time breathing with it. I have a spinal cord stimulator right now. But we aren't getting good connection with it like I did with the first surgery. I have had a total of four surgeries on my back for this for pain control. My program guy said, if this doesn't work than I would have to do a pump. I also worry about the cost of the medication to fill it each month. I have insurance but the coverage on certain drugs isn't the best price. If anyone could help me out with my concerns I would greatly apprecite it. Please let me know if I can help any of you with questions on pain managment. take care Holly Utah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
