They found acivity around my lumbar region and shoulders. My pain has gotten so bad it is difficult to walk and stand. My Dr. ordered x-rays. any feedback would be helpful...Raven Blackraven777 Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT I too suffered with severe pain from my bone cancer that is in my lumbar, sacrum and other areas of spine..... I was sent to a Pain Mangement doctor after I completed my radiation.. (because I still had so much pain afterwards).  After the evaluation, I had a an intrathecal cathader with pain pump put into my back..... I have been pretty much pain free since then. Pump gets refilled about every 3 months and stays in body for up to 8 years.hope this helps,Yancy Yancy Sun, 31 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT
