I'm scheduled for a BA in Nov. They gave me the option to have a pain pump - an extra $475. I'm thinking I will take anything I can get to ease what I know will be a painful - but worthwhile - experience.

Has anyone had a pain pump - and was it worth it?
Thanks in advance!

My bestfriend's sister had one and loved it. I think hers was cheaper...but she said it was way worth it.

I had the pain pump for 4 days. I think it helped trememdously, and I definitely knew when the pump had run out!

The catheters were taped down to my sides, and then I was wrapped over that.

Dh pulled the catheters out on day 4. A little fluid tends to leak when they are pulled out, so have some gauze or something handy. Then you put on a little band aid and the opening closes up within a day. Pretty simple, really.

I'd go with it again. You will likely still need some pain medication in addition to the pump, but probably not as much.

Had it, loved it, definitely recommend it!!! Mine lasted 4 days too. I still used my pain meds. I used everything I could

But I know my pain level was much lower than it would have been. Very thankful for my pain pump

I had a pain pump ...but it wasn't really an option not to have it. Im very glad I had it...bc the day after I had it removed seemed to be one of the most painful days. However, a lot of women on here have gone without and still had an ok recovery experience. So if money isn't an option I'd say go for it ....the recovery process is a long one so the more comfortable the better! good luck!
