I have had my pump for 2 years and have had alot of trouble in the last 4 months.First my catheter started rubbing against my nerves,which made my legs shake and spasm to a point of extreme pain.I could not walk for days at a time.When i tried to walk spasms were so bad I could not without even more sever,all caused by my catheter pressed up against my nerves,which effected my legs,back.I have had a revision in the last 2 months and what do you know the same thing but not as intent or as often now it is starting to get worse especially at night around 3 am not much during the day as long as i dont sit or lay down.I am having them put in a new catheter to see if this is the problem. Has anyone ever had this problem or am i on my own on this one thanks guys

Hi Joe,

I'm afraid I have no experience with a pain pump, however, we have an excellent thread on this forum that deals very well with that subject. You can find it here:
http://forums.healthcentral.com/discussion/chronic-pain.../f/7251032/m/8491036

It has 11 pages of posts. If you'll post your question there, I'm sure someone will be able to help you soon.
