My spasms are worse the lower in my body you go. Lower part of legs give me the most problems. They used to be so bad my husband would tell me it looked like I was trying to ride a bicycle. A couple of times when I was laying on the sofa they actually flipped me off onto the floor. Muscles in legs use to always be reall tight all the time too, so much so that when they would try to test my reflexes nothing moved. Now things have gotten much better, I still have spasms off and on all day (worse when I have been overdoing it) but not nearly as severe when they occur. Yes they have always been worse at night or when I try to lay down to relax. Lynne

It works the same as oral Baclofen but uses much less medication to get the same results. The actual pump is inserted just above and to the left side of my belly button. Then the tubing runs from there around my left side and into the lower part of my spinal column. The pump is about 4" across and sticks out about an inch and a half. Its not really noticable under looser fitting tops, but real noticable in the summer, especially in my bathing suit. No more clingy fabrics for me lol.

Also, where is it inserted? Janice
