Default Need Advice Regarding Baclofen.

Hi - I need advice regarding baclofen. I have RSD which is a pain syndrome and I am getting severe stiffness in my back as well as muscle spasms. I have tried to take baclofen but when I get past 5mg I start to get weird head feelings. I end up just giving up on it though I think It would help. I talked to my pm doc about the pump and he said I would get the same symptoms with the pump..is that true?? He was really against it but in the end he said he could do a 5 day trial -in patient- where they put a catheter in my spine. I dont know what to do because with RSD surgery can be very risky so my questions are
1-do you get the same side effects with the pump
2- How often are there complications with the pump

Any advice would be appreciated!!

TY
Debbie for the RSD group.
