Hi please learn a whole lot more about the morphine pump before letting the doctors put one inside of you I have just gone through my 5th morphine pump and I almost died from  getting mercer infection from every one I had  put in me over the past 8 0r 9 years, the last one the doctor put in me build up so much preasure from the infection  that it blew myside and my spine out and I spent a month in the hospital I had lost so much blood and spinal fluid I could have died from that and the infection that I got , I was sent home after a month in the hospital with a I V in my arm for almost  four months  till they could get the infection  cleaned up and the meds they used almost ate my stomach out as well, they will never put another pump in me again, also I had to have home health care during this time, I also lost all my iron and had to be treated for that at the Cancer Clinic. So as you can see I been to hell and back many times  over the morphine pump

So Please don't rush into  letting some doctors talk you into having one put in to your sidecause when they put one in your stomach they have to run a lead from that pump to your back that also can cause real problems and lead you right into some real bad problems like I had, also you  run into problems with the pump fliping over and went you go to have the pump refilled which will be about ever 4 to 5 wks and if the pump is flipped over at that time  the pain clinics will not mess with them to try to flip it back so they can fill  this they will tell you that you have to go back to the doctor that put your pump in to have him flip that pump over  and you will have to hold that pump in place with your hands untill you get back to the pain clinic so they can fill it and just as soon as the pump is filled it will flip it self over again and the pump will not work right and you will not get the right amount of morphine going into your spine and if that happens you will suffer like you never suffered before and that  is another thing that I had to go through for almost six month  before the doctor that put the pump would agree to go in and move the pump to my right side  by him leaving me in this mess for six monrh and several other doctors over this six month time to get that pump removed from my left side and to move it back to my right side  trying to tell  him durning this time the pump got pushed  down into my left hip and damaged my hip to the point that now I have to have total hip replacement also when he did give and moved the pump back to my right side I ended up with 3 more deadly infection and that is when the pump came out for the last time. So I hope what I have told you that it give you food  for though and think real hard and long before haveing the pump put in really think this thing out good before you jump into it. You know all of your major Medical Clinics do not approve of the morphine pump, because  of the many problems  that so many people like myself had with them also some has told me that they have had to remove almost as many  as some doctor has  put in to people . The morphine is just another big money maker for some doctors, like my doctors tell me they have been putting in as many as a 100 a month  into patients, but again they will never tell you just how many of the pump are being remove for the reason of infectins  and a lot of other problems

So good luck and I woul love top hear from you soon in what you decided to do
