Re: [QUAD-L] RE: Baclofen pump

I have heard that the pump has helped a lot of people but me personally i had a bunch of problems with it.  the skin over the pump was very painful to the touch.  my spasms kept getting worse the more they raised the dosage.  the doctor found bacteria in the baclofen fluid so i told them to remove the pump.  after the surgery to remove my pump i went home for about an hour when my mom noticed a puddle of clear liquid on the ground under my chair.  IT WAS SPINAL FLUID.  so i went to the emergency room had my back double stichted and glued then i went home again.  more fluid leaked out and i ended up staying in the hospital for 3 days on my back.  all of this went on in a 1 1/2 yr. period.  oh yea not to mention the other 5 surgeries i had to test the pump to find out why it wasn't working.   luke
