I have had a baclofen pump since the summer of 2001. Works. Never a problem. Never an infection.

Usual 80/20%

I want to get some feedback on the implantable pump (intrathecal) that provides meds directly into the spine.

Any problems with infection?
Cost on Medicare - 80/20  or 100%  ?
Convenient to have, or a pain with upkeep, maintenance, whatever problems you may have had?
Did it work (regardless of the med, but it would be nice to  know)?

I am looking at pain relief, and probably anti-spasmodic being delivered via this device. Thanks for your input. mt
