Baclofen is one of the few medications FDA approved for Spasticity (muscle cramps, stiffness/tightness, and pain associated with those symptoms).

Has anyone tried Balcofen for pain?

If your pain is due to Spasticity Baclofen should help, however, not everyone will have the same experience with Baclofen.
I have used Baclofen off and on through the years...it works great for me. I have used Baclofen 2 different ways (neuro approved): I have taken Baclofen on a daily basis but I have also used it as needed. Both ways have been helpful for me. I have found, even without spasticity, Baclofen has helped my neuropathic pain (legs).
The preferred use is daily. Baclofen needs to be
increased slowly and decreased slowly.
