I have had a pump inserted in 1997 after ten and a half years of trying every new treatment around. Since I have had my pump I been able to come off my walking stick and return to work. I know a pump is not the answer for everybody. The main thing is to find a good pain management doctor who keeps up with all the new treatments. There is so much more information around now then when I had my accident. If I had the same fall now it would be treated a lot sooner, than it was and I might not have had to have a pump. It was a big decision to have a pump inserted.
