Has anyone had this done? I've had a couple so far and am considering getting another one to get a handle on the leg and back spasms. Not into getting the Baclofen pump which my neuro suggested. So far when I've had the injection, it has proivided some relief for about a week.
What have been your experiences? How long has the effect lasted for you? With love, Erika |

I take Baclofen regularly and it seems to be working well. I'm not big on injections and especially not in my spine
 but if it works well for you then I'd say go for it. Different things work for different people. A week of relief just doesn't sound like it works for very long. You'd have to get these shots weekly? I hope you get the relief you're looking for.

It does take the edge off but the neuro says that repeated spinal injections of the stuff is not recommended. He wants to implant a Baclofen pump and I don't want that.
They won't do them weekly willingly but...I'm sort of desperate now. With love, Erika |

Erika-
I have no opinon on what you should do. I just want you to know that I feel aweful that you are having these pains for so long with little relief. I truly hope you get "back" to feeling better soon (pardon the pun  )

I did not know they did baclofen injections into the spine more than once, and that is to see you are a good candidate for the baclofen pump. I took what my neuro saidwas the maximum dose of baclofen (60 mgs) for a couple of years, and it did not help at all. I tried zanaflex at a low dose and it seemed to be helping a bit, but it made me too nauseated. I have always been too leery of trying the pump too.

I have not had one done but know of patients that have done well with them. I'm sorry you and the neurologist had a little "issue" regarding this. I wonder if that over time you will find relief from them that is longer lasting. That wouldn't be too uncommon with injections such as baclofen.
Let us know what finally becomes of this. |
