Over the last three and a half years my daughter Alsion has trialled many of the drugs for RSD and nothing has worked
As she also suffers from dystonia her consultant has suggested that a baclofen pump may be useful in controlling both dystonia and pain
She has now developed reflex syncope with pain being the trigger and has had a spread of the RSD to her back following injury during one of the syncope episodes
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has the baclofen pump as to how it controls pain and how much of a reduction in pain we could expect
My mum had a baclofen pump for MS so I am fully aware of the benefits for dystonia and spasticity
At the moment Alisons consultant is discussing the use of baclofen only b ut I am aware that other pain medications can be used too
Thanks
Andrea
