Dental Issues And CRPS
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doc said she will work with a dentist to explain RSD-CRPS and how it may impact my condition. Now I have to find someone who will do the work and it may mean multiple extraction. No Money and most dental is NOT covered. Anyone have experience with this or know of denists in MAINE that have experience with this? Thanks. I'm… read more

Intrathecal Implants
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

How much pain medicine do you have to be on before they consider you for the pain pump? The reason I ask is because I have had 2 back injection the spine specialist isn't doing the third because I had a reaction to the 2nd one so he is referring me for the pain pump. I am in physical therapy and take oxycodone 4 times a day and fentonal patch every 72 hours and still in quite a bit of pain to the point of I can barely move.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

The pump is extreme and there have been serious problems with PP patients. I lowered my dose and the pain is better. Good luck...
