I was on 150 fentanel patch everyother day and 8 15mg oxycoutin a day. I have had 4 lumbar and 2 cervical opperations, most in the last 3 years. My doc has recomended a pump to replace all pain meds. I have had a temporary pump implanted. The temp. one has a bag with the meds and a pump that you carry and a line that goes into the spine. The permanet pump and med. will be inplanted under the skin on my belly and they refill it with a syrenge monthly and can adjust the rate via radio freq.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this... Pors or cons..

The Temp. does seem to control the pain better with less effects on my thinking ( with the fentenal and oxycoutin I was very forgetfull and had very little ambition).

Please send any info you have, I need to give them an answer within a week as to how to proceed.

Thanks
