Hi Jeff,

I've been watching your message since you posted it, hoping someone would be able to help you. Since there still hasn't been a response, I just wanted to let you know that we haven't forgotten you.

Unfortunately (or should I say fortunately?), I don't know a great deal about pain pumps. I do know, however, that dosing is a very individual thing and it is a matter of fine tuning the dosage with your doctor. For that reason, people may be reluctant to share that information.

There are several other messages from people who have pain pumps on this message board that you might find helpful. There are also a couple of recent SharePosts about pain pumps. Here are the links to those:

I do wish you the best and hope you're able to find the information you're looking for. Please keep in touch on the message board and let us know how you're doing.

Hi!

You are on a much higher dose than I am. I just had my pump put in at the end of Feb. and I'm at 2.07mg. I have been going in once a week for increases so I'm not sure how high I will get. I do still have pain but I expected that since they said it will be months before I'm at the right dose.
I'm sorry that you're still in so much pain. I'm sure you have a smart doctor that would have thought of this but do you think it could be targeting the wrong area?
Good luck and hang in there!
