I have spinal stenosis, 2 bulging disks, etc. I have been referred to a pain clinic. Can you describe what a pain pump is? I am a smoker and my surgeon will not do surgery. I have a pain level of 5 to 10, depending on what I do during the day. Thank you for any input you can provide.
Hi, There are several. One is just Morphine given by an implanted tube. Then there is Lidocaine and/or narcotic delivered directly into the spine. It is effective and likely far less addicting that way. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
