Hi again everyone. The doc wants me to get the baclofen pump. I have tried everything else and nothing has worked. He then put me on Zanaflex which did nothing, and baclofen pills made me feel sick. I've tried physical therapy three times, nothing improved. I have the strength they say, the doc says the spasticity is what is causing me to have trouble walking. Is weakness in the legs actually spasticity? Makes no sense to me.
What scares me about the baclofen pump is:
Will baclofen from the pump make me sick like the oral did?
The pump after insertion looks hideous, as does the scarring.
Every few years, it has to be removed for the battery.
Is sleeping a nightmare with this pump? It looks so protruding that you wouldn't be able to roll over on it.
Am I stuck with this for life?
Any help you could give me in making this decision would be greatly appreciated.
