Diana is this the same thing as the femoral artery pump where they put it in your
leg in the femoral artery. I know 2 people who had this femoral artery pump and
it does not give them hardly any pain relief even in the hospital.

Now it may not be the same kind of pump. You maybe trying something new.
I had a spinal block and they left it in for a couple of days. I didnt want that either.
My back has never been the same.

Good Luck. The femoral artery pump and the pump you listed MAY NOT be
the same thing at all. Just ask your doctor.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will do fine.
Hugs, Vlc Vicki

Hey everyone, I am getting ready to have my 2nd knee replacement September 16th and was wondering if anyone has tried the ON-Q C bloc pump for pain relief after the surgury? I had a really bad experience with my first replacement 2 years ago (blood clots...) and am scared to death about this one. The Dr has been using this pump lately and has had "great success" with pain control. I am skeptical...

Thanks, Diana
