Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has had Baclofen injections to treat both Dystonia and RSD?

I'm in a bad flare at the moment with my right arm. I twisted it awkwardly trying to sit up and ever since then it has been really painful, swollen and bruised. My mum took me to the hosptial as at first it looked like i'd dislocated it however we were told it wasn't and was 'just' RSD. That was nearly 3 weeks ago now and things are still no better.

I had an appointment today at the hospital for PT and with my Pain Management Dr. He came to monitor the flare up in my arm but was also concerned that the Dystonia and RSD in my leg wasn't resolving at all and things have been like this for over 3 years now even with different procedures.

He mentioned to my mum and I possibly injecting Baclofen into the muscles in my foot that are over reacting to see if it'd help. Has anyone had this done and if so, how did you react? He's only done the procedure on one girl 3 times and has had successful results so far.

I'm really nervous about what to do. I've had nerve blocks and other procedures done on my leg before and they've made me worse and no one is sure how i'll react for definite so i'm kind of scared of the unknown.

If anyone has any feedback, i'd be interested to hear it. I have 3 weeks to make my mind up.

Thanks,
Alison
