Does the Baclofen pump really work?
My neurologist really wants me to get one, so do I, but for reasons I may write about later, the timing just isn't right. I'd like to hear from someone who actually has one?

I'd like to hear from those who use the Baclofen pump, also! I've been on oral Baclofen 20mg up to 5x day from 17 years. Spasticity is still my worst symptom by far and especially with my legs. I've been on Gilenya for at least 8 years, possibly more. My neuro doesn't want to let me try it but I don't really like her and don't really care about her opinion, she's replaceable. I'm thinking about a neuro who specializes in ms, anyway.
My doctor suggested I get one. But I'm not sure I want something under my skin. I have been on Baclofen and Tizanidine for 20 yrs. I went a different route. Every 3 to 4 months I receive Botox injections in my leg muscles. It works pretty good. Plus it's not so evasive.
