I used a pain pump for 14 years. I no longer use it. It did help for many years but then it didn't work as well. Once I got off of it, I realize how negatively all the opioids were effecting my health. If I got in really bad pain again, I would talk with the doctor about a SCS

There is someone here, but I can remember his name, that has a pump with none opioids in it. He likes it. That option wasn't available when I got the pump 17 years ago.
