Pain and weakness caused by Baclofen

Hello everyone. Have any of you had any adverse reactions to Baclofen? I’ve had some spasticity in my thigh for over a year which hasn’t resolved so I started taking Baclofen in early June (lowest dose to start with) after a few weeks it did seem to be helping as my walking had become noticeably steadier. Unfortunately very soon after this I suddenly developed incredibly weak and painful muscles/ligaments around the knee on the same side. So much so that climbing stairs is now agony. My knee was the only part of my left leg that functioned well and without pain, so this is a real step back for me. I don’t know if this is coincidence. Has anyone else experienced Baclofen making things worse?

Do a search on “Baclofen” - there’s loads. See the magnifying glass top right in Forum page.

I did do a search on my phone before posting but I only got 2 results, neither of which were helpful. I’ve just done the same search on a desktop and I’ve had lots of returns this time, so thanks.

That’s interesting feedback in itself: app & browser versions return different results.

Question for the site developers: why? Is it a glitch?
