Baclofen infusion pump
A.T.
Hi everyone, about ten weeks ago I underwent surgery an had a baclofen infusion pump fitted
ive had several visits to the clinic for tweeks and have now found a tolerant level. The pump works amazing but have found with my muscles now relaxed my hip,knees and legs can get to aching with having no muscle tone.
is/has anybody else experiencing this? If so is there any recommendations to combat this?
thanks in advance
I went in and had a trial dose injected and went so floppy decided against having a pump fitted for the time being but am interested how the surgery went?

The surgery when really well, I too was quite floppy when I first woke, infact could barely speak but my consultant was soon on the case an reduced my pump dosage, within 6-8 hours I could string a sentence together again
once Iād healed I went Barack a number of times to have the dosage reduced to regain as much muscle strength as possible until I could feel small spasms, I guess this is the sweet spot, I have very very light spa spasms now but can manage a full nights uninterrupted sleep and my transfers are much easier an safer
Sounds good AT I am putting it off but it will be my next move.
Cheers xxx Don
