Like Corie Jones ... I have tried everything but the pump without relief. And I have decided that I am not going to let another doctor messed around with my spinal cord anymore since the current pain than I have is probably directly related from the shunt surgery I had in 1995. I ended up having three surgeries that summer. The pain did not start until two years after the surgery but it is difficult to explain why that is the culprit. Like Stacy ... keeping busy and/or sleeping are the only two things that help my pain.
