Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 I just started LDN on 12/15 and I was already scheduled for a screening to see if I am a candidate for the baclofen pump for my spasticity on 1/14. Is anyone else currently using the Bacolofen pump as a form of treatment? I am going to continue on LDN since everyone around me says I am walking better and I feel more comfortable with my balance and gait already but I am still considering this pump in addition to the LDN. Any feedback is appreciated. ~ Dawn. Intrathecal Baclofen Pump Therapy Baclofen is a medication commonly used to decrease spasticity related to multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, or other neurological diseases. Spasticity is a muscle problem characterized by tight or stiff muscles that may interfere with voluntary muscle movements. If anyone want to read mopre about this I found some information at: http://my.webmd.com/content/article/57/66125? src=Inktomi & condition=Multiple_Sclerosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hey , Just a quick FYI: One of the guys in our ms support group had the pump, and had to have it removed as it "leaked." Yup, that's what his version of it is. His words...worst mistake he ever made. Personally, I don't know from beans about Baclofen, have never taken it and don't plan on it. My spasm's weren't that bad, and the ldn seems to have 'stopped' them cold. My two cents worth. Take care and have a Great Day!
