Helo ❤ dios bendiga sus bellos Ojos preciosa ❤❤❤.,
Your episode that I just watched is very good. It has answered a lot of my questions thank you. I’m gonna be looking for episode 15.
Hubby has severe pain from cervical fusion because of a disk that collapsed. Unfortunately, he has cirrhosis and HE. Wondering if he would be a candidate for a pain pump?
I just had a pump placed on 6/5. They put dressing on. I’ve not needed a dressing since. It’s healing well. I have an abdominal binder on how long does it stay on? Up till my post op appt.
Then help us with our chronic pain and we’ll stop self medicating. Until then pound sand.
Thank you for your comment I'm debating getting this poem I'm scared to death that I won't make it through the surgery I'm so weak . How dangerous is the surgery How many hours does it take For the surgery I appreciate Any information you can give me
Please don't tell me there is huge amount of side effects and symptoms 😢😢😢😢😢
I’ve heard horror stories from people that their pain drs leave the practice or retire or leave the state that they’re living in, and then they’re new dr won’t fill their pumps, so then what ?
I have pudental nerve damage from having proctectomy surgery in January 2023 due to sepsis . I’ve been on the fentanyl patch and oxycodone since then. The adhesions have grown over time and the pain has become worse. My pain management dr doesn’t prescribe meds higher and I really don’t want more opioids orally. I’ve been bedridden from the pain and my quality of life is nil. I think targeted pain medication is my hope to regain my life and relief from pain .. I just want to be able to function.
Have you successfully treated patients with atypical trigeminal neuralgia? How about anesthesia dolorosa caused by a failed trigeminal nerve cistern glycerol rhizotomy? Thanks!
Would this work in the area for thoracic pain. Specifically T4-T6? Car accident when I was 18 now 41 and pain medications no longer work and can’t have surgery.
I have a great pain doctor and a pain pump that saved my life. I have MS & I have tried nerve pain medication for yrs. 4yrs ago, a pain doctor listened to me & took me on. Had been on pain pills for yrs and was about tapped out on usage on them. I obviously still have multiple sclerosis, but I can tell you I live a much better life with my pain pump. Walking better, enjoying life. Raising kids. I was at the end of my rope 4yrs ago, and now I am healthy, happy thriving. And it's controlled. I love that part. I still struggle with MS, but pain is something I can get relief from.
Do u still become opioid dependent?
Does the pump hurt when it gets put in
After my spine injection of morphine I itched severely and vomited about 4 hrs. Will those conditions continue’’?
I will be having a pain pump in the near future. I watched a video about refilling the patient received an injection in their arm..what was given?
9:11 how does the intrathecal pump work for cervical stenosis, forminal stenosis, 2 failed acdf surgeries
All I can say is WOW! I saw you today for the first time. I'm the guy with all of the titanium in my spine. As I said in your office, I would be watching your videos. Boy I have I learned a lot. Now spine stimulation would not have helped prior to having L2-S1 fused, as it was simply too unstable. But now I can see where I could finally be able to have some relief from the constant pain, if the injections don't help. Also, the doctor that offered stimulation to me prior to the fusion, sure didn't even try to explain how it works. I have an aeronautical engineering degree and 30+ years in the field. I understand what you're saying in your videos, and it makes sense. As I said in your office, I don't want to take mountains of opioids, and have endured more than my fair share of pain over the last 15 years. For the first time I feel hopeful that some improvement is possible. As I have had 25 surgeries since 2008, seldom do I look forward to going to the doctor's office anymore. I am actually looking forward to seeing what might be possible. Thank you so much for doing these videos!!
I also would like see information on treating Adhesive Arachnoiditis
You mentioned placements above the target and allowing med to drip down. It sounds like it can treat a larger area that way. Is that a correct eval? I hv ten spacer/screws from L1,L2 up causing pain. Will the cath placements treat the entire area.? Signed, Hopeful
Is there a contraindication if a patient has metastasis (colon cancer) spattered throughout the peritoneum?
Thank you, very informative information. I’m a double lumbar spinal fusion patient post 12 years ago.
The pain pump saved my life! Oral medication never actually worked but I consumed out of desperation during my disease attacks (FMF). Now I live pain free, and I don’t feel like I’m on any medication anymore. It works in the background and before I knew it after a few weeks after my implant I realized I had my quality of life back. I thank GOD for this technology. I’m a happy person with a lovely family but I was so desperate for relief, I used to get “the crazy thoughts of ending everything” just because of the torture of the . My pump releases Dilaudid throughout the day every day and I have 180 extra doses for flare ups which I rarely use. The natural drip release works for me. I highly recommend this delivery and would beg anyone who suffers from pain to at least consider it
@@moonshadow1250 the pump is installed in my lower back. I have a Samsung phone just for the pump. It has all the info and all the good stuff. Then I have another device that’s a blue tooth device that I put against the area where my pump is and I can give myself extra pain medicine (Dilaudid) when I have flare ups. This saves me from having to go to the hospital. I’ll make a short vid so you can see what I’m talking about. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions. This has saved my life. There’s no cure for my disease. It’s only maintenance
I had the pain stimulator since 2/13/24 and so far my results have been minimal. In 3/6 I had a post-OP appt and the Dr. increased the dosage from 3.0 to 3.25mg and added a oral med Baclofen and it hasn't reduced my back discomfort. After I finish the 15 day oral med I will contact my Dr. to see what happens next.
What I'm curious about I have CRPS almost 20 years now. I read the pump needs to be replaced every 7 years. Does it need to change locations after 7 years. Meaning does the abdominal wall get weak and needs to be changed to the other side after 7 years? So my question is about getting it replaced and how the abdominal wall holds up. Thank you. Namaste'
I have already passed my drug trial and my lower back felt great for about 5 hrs before the headache and pain was unbearable again my pain management physician who i trust very much said he should be able to treat both areas but the cancer and arthritis has destroyed from my tailbone the entire lumbar and some thoracic if im saying correctly my neck is extremely damaged and arthritis fro c1 to t3 Am i reaching to far to expect relief for both areas of my spine?
I am considering installing pain pump i was on 30 mg morphine TID i detoxed off of my long term morphine and am just using 15mg fast release i had spine cancer along with arthritis throughout my spine worst is my entire lumbar region but i also damaged my neck and thoracic and i have severe headaches that require medication like ubrelvy with is great and imitrex injections. How does the target dosing in the spinal cord sac reach both upper and lower parts of the spine?
I’d like to see a podcast on treating Adhesive Arachnoiditis pain. Loved this on the pain pump.
Thank you so much for the depth and clarity of your videos.
So glad I found you!! You really educated me on this subject, Thank you. I have had 13 surgeries on my back and I still suffer from chronic pain. I was told next step would be a pain pump. I'm taking Percocets a day!! On top of muscle relaxers and Lyrica a day. I'm getting concerned about my liver. I just want to be able to live somewhat of a normal life!! What medications is widely used in a Pain Pump?? Thank You!!
I hear of occasional pain pump failures and how devastating they can be. This makes me want to wait for improvements to the delivery system. Do you have any comments about this?
I have absent right superficial peroneal sensory response. What do you recommend for this. Told I have nerve damage plus CRPS.

Sounds great but there’s no way to edit old information yourself, like old health insurance
I think , I need to visit you Dr Caylor, to get the prescription for a physical therapy program, as you ever mentioned to me , last year, that was my first visit with you, for my knees. Thanks for the comprehensive info.
Thanks, Dr Caylor.
Great Doctor, very caring and knowledgeable in his profession I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't get to meet him. Would not trade him for the world love him and his staff.especially the surgical staff they make you feel like family I'm happy to have him and his staff take such great care of me. I give Dr. G and his staff 5stars out of 5.
Dr. Donaparthi is the best pain doctor thus far that I have had. She did my ablation on my lower back and I could barely feel any pain during the process. I don't get the anesthesia when having these done. If you are looking for a real pain doctor with real solutions, give her a call.
Felid Navidad
