Its great that you have a good pain doctor available though. I think I'd get on his waiting list, just in case. Baclofen is used a lot for MS patients to treat muscle spasticity, but in trials for TN, studies showed it only helped somewhere around 65-70% of patients, if memory serves me right. I feel really lucky to be one of the ones its helping. Have you got a copy of Striking Back? That book is a must have for anyone with TN.
