I had a pain pump implanted the end of October and a recent CT scan w/contrast has shown the catheter has fractured in the spine and a 2-3" section has slide down to the base of my spine. Is there any risk to leaving the section that has become displaced in my spine? The CT scan also showed a possible hernation of the disc at the L5-S1 level. I had this disc fused in 2005. I have definitely had increased pain the spine but I don't know if the pain could be from the displaced catheter or the disc. Thanks.
