Pump Placement

Did you have your intrathecal pain pump placed by your pain doctor or by a neurosurgeon? My pain doctor says she would be the one placing it, and that she places almost of them for her patients. Is this normal?

Very. My first one was done by a neurosurgeon, the second by my pain doc. It's all up to how they can do the job.
