Everyday you have to wait probably feels like a year. Hope the pain pump works for you, Ellie.

Thanks Violet, Karyn ,yes I am looking forward to this. They told me 50 to 60% decrease. They also told me it could take up to 6 months for the meds to be regulated . I will be getting the large medtronic pump implanted. I try not to be dissapointed each time there is a delay. Will keep you posted. Ellie.

Forgot to say how the trial went. It was a great relief ,although the real test will be sitting and standing. I was lying down and sitting.The first pain I noticed coming off the meds was the pudendal pain.. My whole body was itching with both trials from the meds. The implant nurse told me it usually goes away. That is scary. Time will tell with all of this. I have this nerve impingement in L ,cant remember the # . the trial helped the leg pain being caused by the pinched nerve..
