but there is a level of toxicity with baclofen what happened to me after too much of it! So there is a fine line in between spasms and pain relief?

At the time of removal, I was told that I could not have it put back in. But what I did not know at the time, was that I could get pain medicine put directly into the pump also. Now I'm considering having the pump put back in just for the pain medicine. My question is, has anyone ever had the pump removed and reinstalled? I would normally be concerned about them fooling around with my spinal cord, but I'm already a quadriplegic, completely paralyzed on the right side and minimal, nonfunctional, use on the left side. My only concern would be that they would something affect my brain. Naomi.
