Oxycodone Pain Pump Adjustment

I just got a pain pump put in and it gets filled on June 10th. I would like to know why they wait two weeks to adjust it?

Also, during the process of getting it to the right level can I take my Oxycodone in place of it? Cause they won't give me the monitor to give myself extra until it's at the right level.

I've have an implanted pain pump for several years. You inquired to a previous post where the patient is able to adjust the pump. As far as mine, I go to my pain management doctor about every 6 weeks where they will extract any remaining meds in the pump & then refill it. If my pain is worse, I can tell them & the Dr will adjust the pump accordingly. My pump in located in my lower left side of the abdomen. After being on oral meds for a number of years, I wasn't getting any benefit from them anymore. I also had a spinal stimulator implanted but that caused problems down to my feet. The pump seems to work the best. I do have a script for a muscle relaxer for any breakthrough pain as well. Let me know if you need anything else.

I have been taking oxycodone and oxycontin for too many years to remember. On June 10th they are going to put Fentanyl in it and it's going to be put on a low dose to begin with, then adjusted every two weeks for 4 visits. I am hoping to know if anyone has had this done, and if so, what can I expect?

I didn't know that pharmaceutical companies even made oxycodone that is intravenously compatible for humans. I work in pain management and was wanting to know more about the strength and if there are generics. Respectfully.......Christian.
