had pretesting today and the nurse told me I would have a non narcotic pain pump that would send a small steady flow of pain meds Inserted in me, and then after 5 days I could just "pull it out" say whaaaatt? Lol.

Anyone else had a "pain pump" inserted?

The only pain meds I had was some IV toradol, no pain pump. I only took the liquid vicodin twice after surgery. Then again, I have a super high pain tolerance. Pain pumps are common after some surgeries from what I know of. I've never had one, so I can't vouch for its effectiveness personally, but I know other people who were helped immensely by them.
