On-Q pump

Did anyone get an on-q pain pump that goes to gravity after surgery for muscular and incisional pain? If so did it help??

Hi, I did have a Q pump, and I had very little pain. I was sore, but no pain. And the pump does not hurt at all when it is time to take out, it is kinda just tacked into skin. I promise it did not hurt at all to take out. Good luck!

One week out no pump. But good luck to you.

I had the On-Q pump, but took it out after 2 days (before it was empty) because it kept getting in the way. I had no incisional pain at all (never even filled my pain pill Rx), so I figured even if some pain started with it out (it didn't), I could probably handle it.

Was much easier to dress, shower, and go to the bathroom without all those tubes!

I had the pump as well and mine fell out the day after when I was leaving. I had no pain, though and didn't even know it had fallen out until I saw the "arms" were dangling on the floor!

Thank you all so much for your responces! I am debating leaving out because most of our pts say they are a mess and they cant say it helps a great deal... Decisions decisions!

Hard to say if I had pain cuz I did have the onq pain ball. It was pulled when I left the hospital. Didn't hurt, was just a little startling. Lol

No pain at all though, and filled my pain meds but haven't used them.
