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

Baclofen is a muscle relaxer.

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.
