Question
I habe been paralized for 44 yrs, gun shot to t-6 level. I have had bladder infections since then, have learned to live with them, and cope with the problem, but leg spasams are another problem. in 04 they put in a baclofen pump worked well for 4 yrs. In 08 they replaced it with a new one, the 2nd day my spasms came back and are still here sometimes heavy and sometimes light. Medtronic does't want to replace it. Thinking of Botox shots

Answer
Dear Ramiro,  

I use baclofen too, luckily it is still working for me. As for Botox injections, from what I've heard it works. Can't you increase your baclofen dosage? Wouldn't that help? Well I hope you find the relief your looking for.

Sincerely, Ken
