Thanks for getting back to me.  They have not said anything about an infusion pump or fentalyn pops.  Do you know where I could find more information about that?  We will be meeting with a new anesthesiologist soon.  I'm not real sure what is going on with the one we have now that did the most recent block that failed.  We mentioned to his primary doctor's assistant that we thought he did something different but were not sure.  I guess whatever he did caused enough concern with her that she is switching anesthesiologists (and I guessed she cussed him out on top of it) but we couldn't get much more of her about it.  He is also the one pushing the nerve burning which has been making me nervous.  Otherwise, our doctors seem pretty knowlegeble but then again, if they were not, I probably wouldn't know which is what prompted this quest for knowledge.  Thanks so much.   This is all way scary and its nice to talk to someone that has been thru this.
