Pain pump
Posted: Mon Sep 29, 2014 9:39 pm
Hi everyone
I know Im one of the few people in our group who has a pain pump
But thought I'd ask this question just in case
Has anyone had the position (placement) of their pump irritate their
Bladder or worsen their urinary issues?
My pain pump is placed right over my bladder !
Very poor choice on the surgeons part but I am very thin so not muchp
Room to place iit. My pt says there Is a bit of room to move it tho
My problemsp of constant urge to pee and hesitancy in voiding are
Are off the charts now to the point where I may have it taken out
Due to the above stuff we have not ever gotten to a desired level of meds
SinceBladder Symtoms go up etc
At one point around last Christmas the levels and combo we were at seemed to help
A small amt but I could' not tell if it was from thr pump or thr methadone that iwas still on
Back then . Soon after Christmas symptoms seemed bad again so they tried different combos
I know I'm unique but just wondered if this pump could be causing all this urinary pain?
I have to press on belly right where pump is located in order to empty bladder
Weird thing is: bladder scans always show I empty fully
Just feels like I don't
I am so frightened that I know I'm clenching which of course adds to
The cycle of pain and dysfunction
Any thoughts would be appreciated ,
Sorry for typos I'm on iPhone in doc office at the moment
Ths everyone
Best wishes
