Yes: I'm sorry you're having such pain. There are definitely ways to get it under control. Your doc may be referring to an intrathecal pump that delivers pain medicine directly into your spinal fluid. Other options could include radiation, kyphoplasty, and higher doses of your fentanyl patch. A pain specialist might have more ideas!

Implant: Have you ever had the "push button" morphine IV in the hospital ? The pump is similar and is implanted under your skin and refilled by a interventional pain management specialist. The pump tubing connects directly to you circulatory system and allows you to self control your pain with the settings determined by the pain physician. You get immediate medication.
