Yes, I Had To Have My Pain Pump Shut Down

Yes, I had to have my pain pump shut down dilaudid was the med, for 15 years, the drug caused a granule a compressing cord in thoracic spine, shut down in two days in February. detox was hell, but I did it, and at home. Now I'm weening off oxycodone, which was used for breakthrough pain, I have RSD. During pump detox I was using 15 mg. q3 h up to seven times a day. For a month and a half, I have worked my way down to 3 x/day and the body pain is hell. Is there anything non narcotic that can help me while coming off this?
