I am involved with several social media groups that are for those with chronic pain, have a pain pump and more. In thee groups the topic of the medications being used has come up often. I am going to run several post, each with a brief look into a different medication. I have an internal
pain pump to treat my chronic back pain of some 27+ years and have tried pretty much everything. I hope these bits of information can help.
