- Hi. My wife was injured on the job two years ago and has had hronic back
- pain since. After bone scans,MRI, Cat scans and nerve induction (EMG?)
- studies, they still can't find the cause.
- Two weeks ago they did an epidural with .03 mg. MS and she got some
- relief.
- Now they want to implant an epidural pump. My question is, Should she?
- anyone out there have one? what are the pros and cons?
- Thank you,
-
- Dave
