RE: Pain doc (vs. Neuro)/ stim or pump?

[Guest guest]

Hi:

Does anyone know if a Neuro can tell if a pain pump vs. stim is better for a

person? I'm on high meds which, after 12 yrs are doing a number on my

breathing, giving me nightmares at times (kinda bad ones that I NEVER had) and

effecting both my thought process and sleep...

Its time I got off but can't imagine life with even more pain which is still

24/7 sos its time I made a change. By the way, with moving and all (my husband

took several diff jobs in diff states and now is with the gov't for the

insurance for me anyway; I am now on my 4th pain dr. and frankly they all are in

agreement with my status and meds. I've seem some top neuro surgeons at Duke and

3 yrs ago UCLA and was told after a 16 hr surgery I will most likely still be in

pain (so why do it?).

Anyone have experience with pump (good and bad) and stim (good and bad) they can

send to me? I would appreciate the input. Also any feedback on if the Neuro

would help me deceide which would be better for me.

Thanks in advance and soft hugs to all.

Tina

The pain pump delivers about a 300 times smaller amount of medication

than you have to take orally or by transdermal methods. Since it

goes directly into the spinal cavity, very little is needed at the

direct location. It will certainly lower your medication needs and

amounts. The only one who would know what is best for your body is

you. You understand how your body responds to pain unlike anyone

else can understand. Do your research, apply the information to your

specific type of pain and jump. You won't know until you try
