When my daughter was in Kennedy Krieger, there was a young gentleman there who had been in a serious car accident and was listed as a quad. He had major spasms in his legs and nothing could be done until the spasm itself calmed down. His legs would go straight out. They suggested that he do the Baclofin pump as well. He underwent the surgery and everything seemed to work out really well for him. The ONLY major issue he had was that he had a major headache for about 3 days. They tried to get him to move to early instead of laying flat on his back for a few days. They basically had to knock him out for 3 days until everything subsided.

Right now I am taking baclofen pills, and next (if I have no bad reactions, I guess) I have to go through an evaluation test whereby they inject baclofen into my spinal cord - then the pump gets installed with a tube which automatically injects small amounts of baclofen into my spinal cord. Has anyone gone through this process? Stiffness is one of my biggest problems right now & she tells me the pump is the way to go. Sounds scary, the pump is actually inside me. BARNEY
