Baclofen (pump)
I have terrible spasms, my knees bend all by themselves, and I have clonus in my ankles that shake uncontrolably in my wheel chair when I hit a bump.
Currently I'm on only 30mg of oral baclofen (10,10,10 after meals). The doctor has talked to me about a pump but before I get a pump, I would like to try to increase the oral baclofen to see if maybe I don't need an operation.
Is 30mg a lot. I see that the recommended maximum is 80mg. Does anyone have any experience with this.
Also, will baclofen or the pump have any impact on the clonus?
Thank you in advance.
