Advice & Tips
Definitely a superior delivery method for pain control if opiates are involved. The pump, implanted directly under your skin of the abdomen, has a catheter that wraps around and is inserted in your spinal canal @ T10/11 of spine. Eliminates much of the fogginess/buzz factor of taking opiates etc enabling you to think clearly. Does not have any impact of MS related "Brain Fog".
Cost: $200+ monthly
