Hello folks....our 1st post. Our Son has had a Medtronics pump in sine 7/97. Today when he got home, er noticed swelling, redness, possible fluid around the pump site. Was fine this AM.
We are now in overnight at the hospital and have done a cat scan and xrays that are to be read for possible problems.
No prior difficulties.
Let us know if anyone has had similar experience,
Thanks

We've had to remove pump twice now (last one this past weekend) due to swelling at pump site. BUT, in my son's case the pump had only been in for a month or so.
