    New baclofen pump

    So I thought it would post here even though I do not have MS. I have severe spasticity thanks to adreno leukodystrophy. I just recently had the pump implanted on Tuesday and I still cannot walk. I can barely stand up and was wondering if anyone else had these problems. I also have some incontinence and can no longer achieve an erection. I'm just hoping someone can give me some hope that this will get better. I am new to all this so please forgive me if I'm not doing this correctly

    I had a pump put in just six weeks ago. The pump takes away the spasticity but reveals underlying muscle weakness. My doctor told me I had been "walking on my spasticity." Initially, I was so weak I couldn't walk, either. After six weeks I'm now starting to get some leg strength back. To get there, I've done lots of PT and exercises.
