Any problems with infection? Cost on Medicare - 80/20 or 100% ? Convenient to have, or a pain with upkeep, maintenance, whatever problems you may have had? Did it work (regardless of the med, but it would be nice to know)? I am looking at pain relief, and probably anti-spasmodic being delivered via this device. Thanks for your input. mt
