Re: [QUAD-L] STRONG ABDOMINAL SPASMS

2022-08-31 Thread Dylan Youens
I suffered from really bad abdominal spasms. They put me on huge amounts of 
Baclofen and even installed a pump. Nothing helped. We found using a Tens 
machine usually used by physios did the trick. Machine is relatively cheap and 
I put it on my tummy every day. So far so good.
