Are you having your pump replaced, because it's time, or are you having a
problem with it? Do you also use it for pain medicine?
Have a Blessed Day, Naomi

ain pump, because it really does work.

I had a baclofen pump removed last September 11, due to complications with
it. At the time of removal, I was told that I could not have it put back
in. But what I did not know at the time, was that I could get pain medicine
put directly into the pump also. Now I'm considering having the pump put
back in just for the pain medicine. My question is, has anyone ever had the
pump removed and reinstalled? I would normally be concerned about them
fooling around with my spinal cord, but I'm already a quadriplegic,
ompletely
paralyzed on the right side and minimal, nonfunctional, use on the left side.
My only concern would be that they would something affect my brain.
Naomi.
