A Pain Management Specialist will be the next step, if the Neurologist doesn't come up with something.<br /><br />Keep those suggestions coming.<br /><br />Hope your wife is better!<br /><br />SarahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287410826256587335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581343569425944386.post-21720382347777257782011-01-02T18:42:58.460-06:002011-01-02T18:42:58.460-06:00Have you tried increasing the pain medication? My...Have you tried increasing the pain medication? My wife was taking 480 mg of oxycotin a day and 90 mg of oxycodone a day. The pain medication tends to slow the gut action down so you have to be real vigilant about constipation. I know an mm patient who has severe pain from one vertebrae compression fracture. She had a pump with a reservoir for the pain medication placed under the skin to administer the pain medicine directly to the pain spot. The reservoir can be refilled with a needle through the skin. She seems to be doing pretty good with this. I hope you can find something that gives some relief.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334002321240267987noreply@blogger.com
