Eastex, I haven't tried it, but I am meeting with my pain management doc this morning to discuss a pain pump as well. Not to have neurontin installed but morphine, or something similar. I realize this is "end of road" treatment, but since being off all pain meds for a few months now, I see clearly how troubling my pain levels still are. If I gather any new information I will pass it on to you. My best to you.
