Nucynta ER (Tapentadol) so far so good
I have had pudendal nerve pain since 2003. I've done most of what is available including surgery, spinal cord stimulator, physical therapy, various meds, all to little avail.

Re: Pain pump??

I had a temp above 101 for three days in a row, so I pulled out the catheter at day 13. Aside from that very uncomfortab...
